The US answer is no
MOTS-c had no approved US medicine or official drug-information label as of September 30, 2026.
FDA, the US drug agency, reviewed forms named MOTS-c free base and MOTS-c acetate. Neither was an ingredient in an approved drug as of September 30, 2026.
The answer outside the US is narrower
FDA’s review found no medicine containing MOTS-c authorised for use in the European Union, as of September 30, 2026.
That search does not support a claim about every country in the world.
A government drug code does not mean approval
The National Drug Code directory is a government product directory, not a register of approvals.
As of September 30, 2026, its MOTS-c entries described raw powders rather than finished medicines.
As of September 26, 2026, FDA says a code in that directory does not mean it approved the medicine.
Availability and lawful access are separate
Ask how the specific product meets the rules for being supplied. A prescription, a database entry and a claim of approval each need their own explanation.
Ask the pharmacist: “What rule allows you to make this shot from this ingredient?” If someone says the rules have changed, ask for the final government document showing the change.
Keep this in mind
As of September 30, 2026, MOTS-c had no US approval; a powder listing does not change that.
A question to take
What exact approval or ingredient rule is being cited for this product?
