Reviews of doctors about Melanotan 2
30 Oct 2017
Melanotan II is a synthetic analogue of a hormonal-active polypeptide, melanocortin, responsible for the stimulation and secretion of melanins. Currently, this drug is used in the correction of medical and cosmetic problems, as well as used to obtain a quality tan with minimum insolation. However, doctors' opinions about Melanotan 2 are very controversial, and therefore, its use requires caution, and in some cases also the supervision of a specialist.
Melanotan-2 is a drug originally synthesized as a remedy for skin cancer. The mechanism of its action is to stimulate the connective tissue, which includes pigment cells, melanophorocytes. They contain a large amount of melanin, capable of absorbing UV rays and protecting from the harmful effects of solar radiation.
Positive reviews of doctors about Melanotan 2 confirm its ability to protect from burns, increase libido, by reducing appetite to fight excess weight, to help eliminate problems with potency. However, this peptide, which is a real breakthrough in heliotherapy, has not yet received official permission for use. And this also has its own explanation.
In case of an overdose of a synthetic analogue of melanocortin, pain in the whole body may appear. Often, specialists observed in patients using this drug, increased blood pressure and a significant increase in heart rate. Therefore, along with a positive opinion about the drug, there are also negative reviews of doctors about Melanotan 2. At a high dose, spontaneous destruction of muscle fibers, an increase in the percentage of protein in the plasma, and, as a consequence, renal proteinuria. Sometimes after 3-5 injections the entire body blackens, including the lips, a spontaneous erection that occurs without the participation of consciousness.
Thus, the opinions of specialists about the effectiveness and appropriateness of the use of Melanotan 2 are very contradictory, and whether it is necessary to be considered with them or not - to be decided by the consumer.
