What does the evidence say about Melanotan II?

Small early studies and case reports do not establish a safe consumer product.

What are the risks and side effects of Melanotan II?

• Not approved for human use. Products sold online as "research chemicals" are not made to drug standards, so identity, purity, sterility and dose are unverified.
• Case reports describe new or changing moles and uneven pigmentation.
• Nausea, flushing, spontaneous erections and blood-pressure effects can occur.
• Nasal and injectable online products may be contaminated or mislabeled.

What should you ask a clinician about Melanotan II?

• Should changing pigmentation or a mole be examined?
• What proven sun-protection or sexual-health options fit my concern?

These save with the compound when you add it to My Journal, so they’re on the printout for your visit.

Where can I get Melanotan II?

Melanotan II is not approved for human use, so DiscoverMedica links to no seller.

We don’t link to sellers of research-only compounds. Products sold “for research use only” are not made for people and are not held to pharmaceutical quality standards.
