Side Effects and Other Risks of Melanotan Melanotan injections are particularly associated with several side effects, including: Nausea Vomiting Appetite loss Renal infarction Flushing of the skin and increased blood pressure Darkening of moles and new pigmentation, which can obscure early signs of melanoma Longer-term risks include: Potential for contaminated or incorrectly dosed products (due to lack of regulation) Unknown long-term health impacts (as Melanotan has not undergone rigorous safety testing for recreational use) Increased risk of misdiagnosing or overlooking changes in moles, delaying melanoma detection While Melanotan I is legally available for use in specific medical cases, the unregulated/black market sale of Melanotan II online for cosmetic tanning is illegal in Australia
