Is Enobosarm legal in Australia?

Enobosarm in Australia at a glance

Classification and note come from the Enobosarm profile, checked against Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) listings at the reviewed date.

What this means

• 01

  Enobosarm reaches patients in Australia only through a prescriber, typically for a narrow labeled use or via a compounding pharmacy under a prescription.

• 02

  That route depends on a clinician's judgment and, for compounded products, on the pharmacy's own quality controls rather than a product-level marketing approval.

• 03

  Buying it online "for research use only" is outside that route, and the label does not make human use lawful.

What Enobosarm is

The selective androgen receptor modulator known on the gray market as ostarine, now in formal trials where 3 mg cut lean-mass loss on semaglutide by 71% in adults over 60.

Enobosarm activates the androgen receptor selectively in muscle and bone. It failed earlier programs in cancer cachexia and is widely misused as an unapproved SARM.

Mechanism: Tissue-selective androgen receptor agonism that promotes muscle protein synthesis with less androgenic effect on prostate and skin than testosterone.

Regulatory history: Investigational; not approved for any use. Unapproved SARM products are illegal to sell as supplements.

How TGA treats this kind of product

Registers or lists therapeutic goods on the ARTG and schedules substances in the Poisons Standard. Many peptides are Schedule 4 (prescription only), so possession without a prescription and personal importation are restricted even when no product is registered.

The classification above is the The Longevity Archive reading of Therapeutic Goods Administration listings for Enobosarm at the reviewed date, not a legal opinion. Rules change, and importing, prescribing and possessing a compound can each be treated differently. Check the regulator directly before acting on anything here.
