Peptide
A peptide is a short chain of chemicals, like beads joined on a string. The same chemicals also form proteins.

The FDA, short for the US Food and Drug Administration, reviews each medicine product for its specific uses.
So start with the exact medicine, rather than a package called peptide treatment. Put its name on paper. Then ask which concern the medicine is intended to address.
