For most users who take the appropriate dosage Melanotan II does not present any adverse side effects. Of those who do experience mild negative side effects they are generally those documented in the original clinical study of Melanotan II in humans, namely: flushing of the face and mild nausea. These side effects usually only last for 1-2 hours after the injection and usually only occur after the...

I am really disappointed in the product. For the price of R700 a bottle, I received a tiny bottle smaller than the length of my finger (excluding the nasal sprayer) it is ineffective and i have not seen any difference. My bottle is almost finished and know results, am i expected to pay another R700 to get results.

I originally bought it to help with low libido. After I found out that it can help you tan, I upped the dosage. It's not worth it. I feel like someone used an air compressor and filled my entire stomach and intestines with air. I also feel like I have to go diarrhea and/or vomit. I'm nauseated, gassy, sneezing, and I keep burping up this unpleasant taste. In addition to that, it's ruining my taste buds, where I currently can't taste flavors as well. It is so not worth it. Never again!... Read More Read Less

Slight nausea, but backed off the dosage and no issues. Having gone thru a couple cycles, I believe the melanoma issue is brought on by the darkening of the skin. This makes those spots more prevalent to a dermatologist. My experience has been quite good. As far as erections, I would say I would get a semi.

Horrible! Taken 0.1 10th of a syringe and I was vomiting and shaking all day and night, my stomach feels like I’ve done 10000 sit-ups because of throwing up so much, flu like symptoms. I’m going to try and add more water and have 0.05 dose and see if I get the same effect if I do I will not be taking it. My mother has also tried this product and had the same effects, absolutely horrible headaches too!??

Used it for two weeks with only a bit of hot flushing in my face for a bit. I turned so dark my wife asked me to stop. She tried it once and spewed for hours. Works well for me but not for her

Only been using the nasal spray for 3 weeks, never used these products before so very new to the whole melanotan thing, But have actually experienced an INcreased appetite rather than decreased, is this normal to begin with?, Read loads of side effects, to be honest nothing put me off, am also experiencing nausea and stomach cramps, but nothing to put me off, except I don't want to actually gain weight!!,I thought it was supposed to make you loose your appetite!!?, Have been taking in the morning after breakfast, Anyone using the sprays not injections have any advice?Read More Read Less

This is the 3rd time round I've tried to take this and every time I have to quit after a max of 2 week due to ridiculous nausea all day everyday. I know lots of people who take this and are symptomless wish that was me!

I dissolved 10mg of Melanotan II into 5ml of buffered sterile water for production of melanins. I dosed at noon with 0.5mg subq. Within one hour I started experiencing flushing, nausea, and a headache which progressively became worse. I slept most of the day and experienced spontaneous erections several times. I then slept a full ten hours overnight and in the morning felt better except for a lingering queasiness. At twenty four hours post administration I still feel like death warmed over. I can’t speak to the efficacy of the product, only the negative reactions I experienced. Read More Read Less

I live in Canada and have fair skin ( mostly of Irish ancestry) and have been taking this since around 2009-2010 every summer. I started with MT1 which took several weeks to show results. I discovered MT2 soon afterwards. MT2 shows results within a week of daily use and daily exposure to the sun of about 20-30 minutes. I have always had the same side effects of a flushed face and a very slight nausea if taken during the day. You don't need to take that much of this stuff if the nausea is a problem. Just reduce the dosage. This summer we had a beautiful week in late May so I took it every day with a tiny dosage and I barely felt anything. I got 20-30 minutes of sun each day after work and by the weekend I had a tan. Read More Read Less

I have been using Rapid Tan for 3 years now. I am obsessed with staying brown. I love it and they post it out first class tracked and signed for. I use the nasal Spray. Tried the injection but they made me feel sick. The nasal spray is amazing and have also bought the oral flavoured drops which are great. Haven’t had sunburn on holiday for years now and no need for sun cream. Highly recommend it to anyone.

First week on it but the headache, flush of my face(like a fever), and nausea definitely isn’t fun…hopefully it will be worth it!

Amazing product. Make sure to research side effects first before using. I’ve used melanotan 3 times now and it’s brilliant each time. Im naturally freckley and my freckles do get much darker when I use the injections. I do get nauseous but it subsides with a sweet cup of tea or I inject before I go sleep and then I don’t notice. I’ll always use each summer now to get my deep tan!

I have Been using melanotan 2 injections 1-2 years without ANY side effects. Just archived a really nice tan! Now, 2 months ago when I injected myself I get a extremely headache, nausea that forces me to lay in my bed the whole day in darkens because I feel so sick! I use the same brand, so I don’t understand why this is happening. Someone that’s had a common issue?

Vomiting none stop for a good few hours after the injection. Feeling very drained and ill. The injections do make you darker but the side effect are not worth it!
