Melanotan II
Also known as MT-II, MT2

Evidence level: Early human data. Human data exists, but read the details above before assuming it applies to you.
What happened in human trials
Small 1990s trials recorded nausea, flushing, yawning, unwanted erections and darkening of moles. Case reports since include new or changing moles, melanoma, and kidney damage. The MHRA has warned the public against it.
Prohibited in drug-tested sport under the World Anti-Doping Code.
UK legal status
Not licensed as a medicine in the UK, and unlawful to sell. The MHRA has issued public warnings about unlicensed tanning injections, and there are published case reports of adverse effects including changes to moles. Anyone considering it should read the regulator's own material first.
Handling
Not applicable: we would not describe handling for a compound the UK regulator has specifically warned the public about. Not lawfully supplied in the UK.
Questions
Is Melanotan II legal in the UK?
No. It is an unlicensed medicine and selling it is unlawful. The MHRA has issued public warnings about unlicensed tanning injections specifically.
Why is it listed here at all?
Because it is heavily searched and the accurate answer is one people should be able to find: it is unlicensed, it is unlawful to sell here, and the regulator has warned about it. Leaving the page out would not stop anyone looking; it would just mean they read a seller's version instead.
