Ascend Research supplies Melanotan II strictly as a laboratory reference material; no representation is made regarding any physiological outcome, and it is not supplied for use in humans or animals.
Handling and Reconstitution
Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening. Reconstitute with sterile water and swirl gently. Store the lyophilised powder dry at 2–8°C, refrigerate reconstituted material and use within 30 days. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
