Peptide therapy offers targeted support for a wide range of wellness goals, from recovery and metabolic balance to immune regulation and hormonal signalling. However, peptides are not suitable for everyone. Because peptides actively influence biological pathways, it is essential to understand who should avoid using peptides or proceed with caution.

At IV Wellness Lounge Dubai, peptide therapy always begins with a medical consultation to ensure safety and suitability. This article explains who may need to avoid peptide therapy, why screening matters, and how medical oversight protects your health.

 

Why Peptide Safety Screening Is Important

Peptides are not supplements. They are biologically active compounds that interact with internal signalling systems such as immune pathways, hormonal communication, metabolism, and cellular repair.

Because of this, peptide therapy must be approached carefully. What works well for one individual may not be appropriate for another, especially if underlying health conditions are present.

Medical screening helps ensure that peptides are used responsibly and that risks are minimised.

 

Individuals Who Should Avoid Peptide Therapy

While peptide therapy can be beneficial for many people, certain individuals should avoid using peptides altogether unless specifically cleared by a medical professional.

Pregnant or breastfeeding individualsPeptides may influence hormonal or cellular signalling pathways that could affect pregnancy or breastfeeding. For this reason, peptide therapy is generally avoided during these periods.

Individuals under the age of 18 Peptide therapy is designed for adult physiology. Children and adolescents are still undergoing natural growth and hormonal development, making peptide use inappropriate.

Individuals with active or recent cancer Some peptides influence growth, repair, or immune pathways. In individuals with active malignancy or recent cancer history, peptide therapy is typically avoided unless specifically directed by an oncology specialist.

Individuals with hormone sensitive conditions Peptides that influence hormonal signalling may not be suitable for individuals with hormone sensitive conditions. Careful evaluation is required before considering therapy.

 

Individuals Who Require Extra Caution

Some individuals may still be eligible for peptide therapy but require closer monitoring and medical oversight.

People with autoimmune conditions Certain peptides interact with immune pathways. While some peptides may support immune balance, others may not be appropriate depending on the condition. A detailed assessment is essential.

Individuals with complex metabolic disorders Peptides that influence glucose or metabolic signalling may require caution in individuals with insulin resistance or other metabolic concerns.

Those taking multiple medications Peptides may interact with medications or influence pathways affected by pharmaceuticals. A full medication review is necessary before starting therapy.

Individuals with cardiovascular concerns Some peptides influence vascular or neural signalling. Careful screening ensures suitability and safe dosing.

 

Why Medical Consultation Matters

At IV Wellness Lounge Dubai, peptide therapy is never started without consultation. This process ensures:

Identification of contraindicationsSelection of appropriate peptidesPersonalised dosing and timingOngoing monitoring for safetyAdjustment of protocols if needed

Medical oversight protects against misuse and ensures peptide therapy aligns with your health profile.

 

Why Self Prescribing Peptides Is Risky

Peptides purchased online or used without medical guidance carry significant risks. These may include:

Incorrect peptide selection Improper dosingLack of screening for contraindications Increased risk of side effects No professional monitoring

Peptides should never be treated as do it yourself wellness tools.
