Glucocorticoids are permitted both in and out of competition when administered by: inhalation (e.g., glucocorticosteroid inhalers) intranasal (e.g., nasal sprays for allergic rhinitis) ophthalmic (e.g., eye drops) perianal (e.g., topical hemorrhoid creams) dermal (e.g., topical creams to treat rashes or allergic reactions) dental intracanal application USADA strongly recommends you check your medication and route of administration on Global DRO
What the Clinical Evidence Actually Shows This is where the conversation has to get more careful
What they found: Dose-dependent stimulation of type II collagen (up to 2.5 baseline at 100 nM) Stimulation of aggrecan (up to 1.8 baseline) Inhibition of MMP-13 by ~40 % Partial protection against IL-1-induced matrix degradation Why it matters: It opened a completely new research area for AOD-9604 beyond lipolysis
Many of our West Palm Beach patients layer peptides alongside treatments like microneedling, laser resurfacing, or our signature facials for compounding skin and wellness benefits
This means: The same dose stops working as effectively Higher doses may be required (not sustainable) Side effects or inflammatory signals may increase Cellular response plateaus or worsens Strategic cycling allows receptors to reset, restore sensitivity, and respond optimally to the peptide
