Synthetic α-MSH analog and non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist; researched for skin pigmentation, libido enhancement, and appetite reduction. In the Peppy catalog, Melanotan II is reconstituted from a vial and drawn up in units on an insulin syringe, dosed in mcg, typically every other day, with a listed half-life of about 1 hours.

## Frequently asked

### How many units is 250 mcg of Melanotan II?

It depends on how the vial was mixed. Example: a 10 mg vial plus 2 mL of bacteriostatic water is 5 mg/mL, so 250 mcg is 0.05 mL, or **5 units** on a U-100 insulin syringe. Change the water and the units change. Use the calculator above with your own vial, and verify with your prescriber.

### How long does Melanotan II stay in your system?

The Peppy catalog lists a half-life of about 1 hours for Melanotan II. After roughly five half-lives, about 5 hours, most of a single dose has cleared. That is an estimate from the half-life, not a measurement, and individual clearance varies.

### Can I track Melanotan II in Peppy?

Yes. Melanotan II is one of 123 compounds built into Peppy, with its form, unit and typical frequency prefilled. Add it as a protocol, set your schedule, and Peppy handles the countdown, the log and the reminders (Pro).

### Where should I inject Melanotan II?

Follow your prescriber's instructions. For subcutaneous shots the GLP-1 labels list the abdomen, thigh and upper arm and say to rotate. Peppy's body map has 13 sites, suggests the next one, and shows when each was last used. Read the [site rotation guide](https://peppytracker.com/guides/injection-site-rotation/).
