About
News from the pharmacy counter
Peptide Town covers what happens after a peptide medicine is approved: the price, the coverage, the supply and the rules that decide whether a patient actually gets it.

Five beats
Stories fall on one of five beats: price, coverage, supply, rules, gray market. Each beat has its own page, and the archive lists every story month by month. Price points and the dates rules took effect are collected in the ledger.
Rated for the people it reaches
A price cut matters differently to a patient, a prescriber, a pharmacy, an insurer and a seller. So every story is rated 0 to 3 for each of them (patients, prescribers, pharmacies, payers, sellers), with one line on what changes for that reader. Choose a reader in the "Reading as" bar and the site sorts itself for you; the choice stays in your browser.
Who runs it
A small independent team runs the site and publishes under its name, without personal bylines. Drafts are prepared with AI assistance from the documents each story cites and are checked before and after they go live. How we rate sets out the method, the sources we accept and how corrections work.
