Is Selank Legal in the UK and UAE?
Selank is not a controlled substance in the UK and is lawful to buy as a research reagent. It is an approved prescription medicine in Russia but holds no MHRA marketing authorisation in the UK.
Selank is not scheduled as a controlled substance in the UAE and is supplied research-use-only, with no MOHAP/DHA authorisation.
UK detail
Selank shares Semax's regulatory position: licensed as a prescription medicine in Russia, unlicensed in the UK. It is not on UK controlled-substance schedules, so it is lawful to purchase and possess for research, but it can only be lawfully sold here as a research reagent, not marketed for anxiolytic or cognitive human-use claims.
UAE detail
Selank is not scheduled in the UAE and is available strictly through the research-reagent channel.
This is a general overview, not legal advice, and law in this area can change. For a specific situation, consult a solicitor with life-sciences regulatory experience (UK) or MOHAP/DHA directly (UAE).
