Marketing compliance for regulated telehealth

Catch the claims that get telehealth brands banned — before they ship.

Lava reads your marketing copy against FDA, FTC, LegitScript, platform, and state-by-state advertising rules — flags what trips, shows you why, cites the source, and suggests a compliant rewrite. Built for the verticals horizontal tools miss — deepest today on TRT and hormone therapy, with stem cell and regenerative, compounded GLP-1, and more on the way.

Grounded in primary sources — FDA warning letters, FTC orders, LegitScript standards, and state advertising statutes. Every flag cites the specific rule — down to the state statute — it's based on.

Rule sources only — not affiliated with or endorsed by these organizations

What it catches

The violations that actually get enforced

Lava is built around the real enforcement record — the FDA and FTC actions, LegitScript standards, and state laws that telehealth marketers actually get cited under. Today it's deepest on TRT and hormone therapy; more verticals are in active build.

Live now — TRT & hormone therapy

Anti-aging & “restored vitality” (FDA)

“Reverse aging,” “restore your vitality,” “feel 20 years younger” framing collides with FDA’s retained limitation of use for testosterone — it’s approved for diagnosed hypogonadism, not age. Lava flags it and reframes to a diagnosed-condition claim.

The ground here is moving — in June 2026 HHS asked FDA to reconsider testosterone’s age-related limitation. It’s still in force today, and Lava tracks the change and updates the rule the moment it lands. Tracking a moving target is the point.

State-by-state enhancement claims (State-Level)

“Build lean muscle, peak performance, physique” reads as an illegal enhancement promotion in nearly two dozen states — and is fine in the rest. Pick the state your ad runs in and Lava fires the rule with that state’s own statute; clear the claim and it clears. This is the part horizontal tools don’t touch.

Unproven efficacy, guarantees & paid testimonials (FTC)

“Clinically proven,” “results guaranteed,” “optimize your hormones” with nothing behind it — plus incentivized reviews and actor testimonials — are the FTC’s core deception and endorsement standards, and some of the highest-firing patterns in real TRT copy. Lava flags it, cites the rule, and routes it for the right fix.

Guaranteed prescriptions (LegitScript)

“Get your prescription guaranteed,” “approval regardless of labs” collides with LegitScript’s valid-prescription standard — and testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance, which raises the stakes. Some issues here can’t be fixed by editing copy, so Lava flags them for human review instead of faking a fix.

Coming soon

Compounded GLP-1 Coming soon

“Same active ingredient as Wegovy®,” “FDA-approved” on a compounded drug are the exact phrases cited in FDA’s 2026 warning-letter wave. The compounded-GLP-1 pack is in build.

Stem cell / regenerative Coming soon

State advertising rules like Florida’s SB 1768 require a specific disclaimer at a specific font prominence — a rule that fires in Florida and not in Texas. The regenerative-medicine pack is in build.

How it works

Built on the enforcement record, not a generic checklist

Lava doesn't guess at what "looks risky." It's tuned on the actual rules and the actual enforcement actions — and it knows which ones apply to your state, your channel, and your product category.

01

Scan, in context

Lava reads your copy against only the rules that apply to where it runs and what it sells — state, channel, and category. The same TRT ad gets judged differently in a state that treats “performance” and “physique” claims as illegal enhancement than in one that doesn’t — automatically.

02

Understand, with receipts

Every flag names the rule it tripped, explains why, and links the primary source — the FDA letter, FTC order, LegitScript standard, or state statute behind it. No black box.

03

Fix, without losing the marketing

Lava suggests a compliant rewrite that keeps your intent and your voice. And when a violation can't be cured by editing words — like an incentivized testimonial — it says so and routes it to a human instead of pretending it's fixed.

FAQ
Is this legal advice?
No. Lava is a compliance tool, not a law firm. It flags likely issues against published rules and cites its sources so you and your counsel can make the call. It checks your language against the rules — it can't verify whether an underlying claim is true (whether a testimonial is real or a study exists); that stays with the operator. For anything high-stakes, run it by a healthcare-marketing attorney.
Do you store my marketing copy?
No. The demo analyzes what you paste in the moment and doesn't retain it. For customer engagements, data handling is covered explicitly in the agreement.
What rules does Lava actually check against?
FDA prescription-drug and compounded-drug promotion rules, FTC advertising and endorsement rules, LegitScript merchant standards, state-by-state advertising rules, and the major platform ad policies (Google, Meta, TikTok). Coverage is deepest in TRT and hormone therapy today, with additional verticals expanding rule family by rule family.
How is this different from a general AI compliance checker?
Most tools cover federal rules shallowly and stop there. Lava goes deep on what actually gets telehealth brands cited — LegitScript standards, state-by-state advertising rules (which states treat “performance” and “physique” claims as illegal enhancement, with the statute cited), drug-category specifics, and recent enforcement patterns — the parts horizontal tools don’t encode.
Does it catch everything?
No tool does, and we won't claim it. Lava catches the known high-risk patterns and shows its reasoning; a human reviewer handles what it can't. As real copy runs through it, it gets sharper. Honest coverage beats false confidence in compliance.
Can it rewrite copy to be compliant?
It suggests rewrites that remove the violation while preserving your marketing intent. Some violations — like an incentivized testimonial — can't be cured by editing words; for those, Lava flags the issue and the real-world fix rather than sanitizing the copy.
What does it cost?
Engagements start with a compliance-review retainer, sized to your volume and verticals. Book a call to talk through pricing and platform access for reviewing content at scale.
