Can I get it?
Not for this use. Melanotan-2 has no EU authorisation for it, so it cannot be prescribed or dispensed here for that purpose.

Hi-Doctor does not prescribe Melanotan-2.
Our licensed doctors currently focus on three areas with solid clinical evidence and a clear EU regulatory framework. We extend the catalogue as specialists join and regulation allows. Melanotan-2 is outside the current scope.
Buying Melanotan-2 online without a valid prescription carries counterfeiting and toxicity risks. Always consult a licensed healthcare professional.
IN PLAIN TERMS
What Melanotan-2 is, and how to get treatment
Melanotan II is a laboratory-made peptide that switches on melanocortin receptors, the signals that make skin produce pigment. It is sold, usually as an injection or a nasal spray, to darken the skin. It is not an authorised medicine anywhere in the European Union and it is not a cosmetic, so no doctor can prescribe it — several European medicines agencies, including Ireland's HPRA and the Danish Medicines Agency, have published warnings telling people to stop using it. When vials bought online were analysed in a laboratory they contained less melanotan II than the label claimed, plus unidentified impurities, so what is in them cannot be verified.
Melanotan-2 has no EU marketing authorisation for this use. It may be an approved medicine for something else, or approved in another country — but not something a doctor here can prescribe for this.

WHAT IT IS

A laboratory-made peptide that switches on melanocortin receptors, the signals that make skin cells produce pigment; it acts on several receptor types at once, which is why it also affects appetite, nausea and erections.

NAMED SAFETY SIGNALS
What has been reported with Melanotan-2.
Serious adverse events in published case reports
The US Food and Drug Administration records that "published case reports discuss serious adverse events including melanoma, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, sympathomimetic toxidrome and priapism".
Ireland's HPRA warning
The Health Products Regulatory Authority states that Melanotan 2 "is not authorised by the HPRA or any medicines regulator to treat any condition", names side effects including "the development of new moles, darkening of existing moles and freckles, potential loss of vision, muscle tremors, stroke and anaphylaxis", and advises anyone using it "to stop immediately".
Danish Medicines Agency warning
The Danish Medicines Agency warns that Melanotan "is not authorised in Denmark, Europe or the United States", that "the effect of the product is not documented and there are no studies of the product's potential side effects", and urges users to stop and speak to a doctor.
Vials bought online did not contain what the label claimed
An analysis of melanotan II vials purchased from three online shops found 4.32 to 8.84 mg of melanotan II in vials all labelled as containing 10 mg, and unidentified impurities of 4.1 to 5.9% in vials from two of the shops.
Skin cancer reports
Dermatology case reports describe new and changing pigmented lesions, and melanoma, in people who have used melanotan. Case reports show association, not proof of cause, but they are the reason regulators advise stopping.
Injection risks
It is normally self-injected with equipment obtained outside any clinical setting, adding the risks of non-sterile injection and shared needles.
UNAPPROVED PRODUCTS ONLINE
