Your dose, on the dial.
The dial counts in units of 0.01 mL: 10 units is 0.10 mL, and 100 units, the most one press gives, is 1 mL. How much peptide a unit holds depends on the pen’s strength, so the same number of units gives a different dose on each pen. Enter the dose your doctor gave you to see how many units to set.

About Melanotan II
What Melanotan II is
Melanotan II is a peptide built to act like the hormone that darkens the skin. It was developed as a tanning drug and later dropped.
Its studies in people were small and short, and all of them were in men. None has studied women.
What Melanotan II is studied for
- Tanning: Studied in a first study of three men.
- Sexual function: Studied in small trials of 20 men with erectile dysfunction.
What the research shows.
Melanotan II is built to act like the hormone that darkens the skin. It was developed as a tanning drug and later dropped, and its studies in people were small, short and in men; none has studied women. Each study used its own supply, dose and schedule, so its results describe that study rather than promise what this pen will do.
Tanning
Small studies, Under the skin
In a first study of three men, two of them tanned.
Sexual function
Small studies, Under the skin
In small trials of 20 men with erectile dysfunction, 17 had erections after an injection, and their desire rose after 68% of doses, against 19% after a placebo.
How every lot is tested
Every lot of Melanotan II goes through three tests before it is sold.
-
Every lot is 99% pure or more, and your pen’s exact purity is printed on its tube.
-
Every lot we sell has passed the sterility test: no bacteria or other microbes were detected.
-
Every lot we sell has passed the test for endotoxins, traces of bacteria that can cause fever after an injection.
-
An independent laboratory in the USA runs every test.
Side effects and cautions
-
Users have reported new moles appearing suddenly and existing moles darkening. At least five cases of melanoma have been published in people who used it, and a review could not tell whether the drug or the sun was to blame.
-
A tan from Melanotan II does not protect the skin from the sun or prevent melanoma. Still wear sunscreen.
-
Severe nausea followed about one dose in eight in the trials.
-
Case reports also describe an erection that would not go down and needed surgery, muscle breakdown after an overdose, and a blocked blood supply to a kidney.

Allergy warning
Don’t use Melanotan II if you have ever had an allergic reaction to it or to anything else in the pen. Get help straight away if you have swelling of the face, lips or throat, trouble breathing, or a rash that spreads after an injection.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Melanotan II has not been studied in pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor before using it.
Medicines and health conditions
If you take any medicine or have a health condition, talk with your doctor before using Melanotan II, and tell them you use it.
Moles and melanoma
Users have reported new moles appearing suddenly and existing moles darkening, and at least five cases of melanoma have been published in people who used it. Don’t use it if you have or have had melanoma, or have many moles. Have a doctor check any mole that is new or changing.
Sun
A tan from Melanotan II does not protect your skin from the sun or prevent melanoma. Still wear sunscreen.
Erections
In men, it can cause erections. See a doctor straight away if an erection lasts more than four hours.
Age
For adults 18 and over.
Frequent questions
Is Melanotan II right for me?
Melanotan II is for tanning. Its studies in people were small and in men only, and it carries reports of new and darkening moles. Have your skin checked, and talk with your doctor before you start.
Will a tan from Melanotan II protect my skin?
No. The tan does not protect your skin from the sun or prevent melanoma. Still wear sunscreen.
What side effects can Melanotan II cause?
Severe nausea followed about one dose in eight in its trials. Other effects include flushing, new and darkening moles, and, in men, erections. Case reports describe rarer, serious harms, listed with the research on this page.
Can women use Melanotan II?
No study has tested Melanotan II in women, so what it does in women is not known.
What testing does Pure99 complete for Melanotan II?
Every lot of Melanotan II is tested by an independent laboratory in the USA before it is sold. The laboratory measures its purity by HPLC, tests it for bacteria and other microbes by PCR, and measures its endotoxins by LAL. Endotoxins are the toxins bacteria leave behind even in a sterile solution, and they can cause fever and aches after an injection.
How much Melanotan II should I take?
Take Melanotan II only as your doctor directs: Pure99 doesn’t recommend a dose. The pen’s dial counts in units of 0.01 mL, from 1 to 100 a press, and the same number of units gives a different dose on each pen. The dose guide on this page turns your dose into the number of units to set.
How many doses are in one Melanotan II pen?
Every pen holds 3 mL, which is 300 units on the dial. How many doses that makes depends on your dose: the dose guide on this page shows how many doses of your size a pen holds.
