What longevity pharmacology involves
This category covers established prescription medicines — most prominently metformin and rapamycin (sirolimus) — that researchers are investigating for effects on aging-related pathways. In a clinic setting they are typically used off-label, meaning for a purpose other than their original approval, with screening, dosing and monitoring handled by a physician.
What to consider when choosing a clinic
Evidence in humans is still developing and these drugs carry real risks and contraindications, so medical supervision is essential. Look for clinics that screen thoroughly, explain off-label status and the current evidence honestly, and provide ongoing monitoring. Never source prescription longevity drugs without a qualified prescriber.
The clinics listed below work with longevity pharmacology — compare locations, services and reviews. For how researchers are identifying repurposable drugs that target the hallmarks of aging, read our in-depth guide.
