17-Year Melanotan II User Warns Against UV Exposure for 2 Weeks

Summary
A Reddit user who says he has injected Melanotan II for roughly 17 years warned new users not to treat the peptide as instant sun protection and to avoid UV exposure early on.
About 2 weeks of "loading" were needed before he saw results, he said, adding that the drug only triggers melanin production and does not shield skin from UV damage.
Melanotan II remains untested, unregulated and illegal to sell in most countries, including the UK, despite continued online use as an injectable or nasal tanning product.
NHS-listed side effects include nausea, drowsiness, vomiting and loss of appetite, while severe risks can include skin cancer, kidney infection and renal failure.
