What it is
Melanotan 2 is a cyclic analogue of alpha-MSH acting across several melanocortin receptors.
How it works
Non-selective receptor activity produces pigmentation, appetite and sexual-response effects together.
Why it may be considered
Rarely prescribed. The lack of selectivity means side effects are common, and PT-141 is usually the better-targeted option.
Who may be a candidate
- You are an established MECCA patient, or are willing to begin with a consultation.
- You have a clearly defined goal that this therapy plausibly addresses.
- Your recent laboratory work and history have been reviewed by your clinician.
- You are able to attend the monitoring intervals the protocol requires.
Who may not be a candidate
- You are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy.
- You have an active malignancy or an unresolved undiagnosed symptom.
- You take a medication that interacts with this therapy.
- Your goal is better served by training, nutrition, sleep or an existing prescription.
- You have atypical naevi or a personal or family history of melanoma.
Typical treatment-review considerations
- Current medications, supplements and prescriptions written elsewhere.
- Relevant baseline testing, and whether an interval draw is needed first.
- Monitoring cadence, expected review date and the criteria for stopping.
- Whether a non-pharmacologic route addresses the same goal first.
Safety considerations
- Prescription-only. Never self-source or self-administer outside a supervised plan.
- Injection-site reactions, bruising and transient discomfort are the most commonly reported effects.
- Report any new or unexpected symptom to your care team before the next scheduled dose.

You can submit a request, but it cannot be approved until a licensed clinician has reviewed your history. If you are not yet a patient, your request opens a consultation rather than a prescription.
No. Pricing is released with your approved plan, after a clinician has decided the therapy is appropriate for you.
