Are SARMs Legal in Pakistan? (2026 Guide)

Short answer: Pakistan should not be treated as a blanket “legal SARMs” market. We could not verify an official Pakistani source that creates a general consumer or “research use” exemption for SARMs. The legal position can depend on whether a product is treated as a therapeutic good and on its composition, presentation, claims, intended purpose and import route.

What do the official rules show?

The Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP) regulates therapeutic goods. DRAP’s official import and export guidance describes regulated routes and permissions for therapeutic goods, including specific procedures for unregistered or unavailable products. These procedures do not amount to a general retail exemption for products carrying a “research only” label.

The official Drugs (Import and Export) Rules 1976 set conditions for drug imports and limited exceptions. Whether those rules apply to a particular compound depends on its classification and circumstances.

Does a “research only” label settle the position?

No. A label does not, by itself, create a legal exemption or prevent DRAP or customs authorities from considering the product’s objective characteristics, claims and intended purpose. We found no official basis for the previous statement that research-labelled SARM imports are generally permitted.

Can SARMs be imported into Pakistan?

The answer depends on the substance, classification, importer, documentation and intended purpose. A shipment may require registration, permission or other formal approval and may be refused. Obtain current written guidance from DRAP and Pakistan Customs before ordering or shipping a specific compound.

Sport and anti-doping rules

Separate from Pakistani sale and import law, the 2026 World Anti-Doping Agency Prohibited List includes selective androgen receptor modulators in category S1.2. Anti-doping status is not the same as criminal or medicines law.
