Storage by Form

Best Practices

• Keep unopened vials frozen until ready to reconstitute. Transfer to refrigerator 30 minutes before mixing.
• Store reconstituted vials in the back of the fridge, not the door (which has temperature swings).
• Minimize time out of the fridge: Draw your dose quickly (under 2 minutes) and return the vial immediately.
• Protect from light: Keep in original packaging or wrap in aluminum foil. UV and visible light degrade peptides .
• Label every vial with the reconstitution date.
• Never refreeze a vial that has been reconstituted or previously thawed from frozen.

Signs of Degradation

Discard your Melanotan II if you observe:

• Cloudiness or turbidity in the reconstituted solution
• Visible particles or floating material
• Color change (should be clear and colorless)
• Unusual odor
• Solution was left at room temperature for more than 4 hours
• More than 28 days since reconstitution

Traveling with Melanotan II

Use an insulated medication travel case with gel ice packs. Carry in carry-on luggage with prescription documentation. For trips longer than a few days, bring unreconstituted vials and BAC water separately, then reconstitute at your destination.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my Melanotan II was left out overnight?

If reconstituted Melanotan II was at room temperature for more than 4 hours, potency may be reduced. A single brief exposure is unlikely to cause complete degradation, but repeated incidents compromise the product. When in doubt, discard.

Can I store Melanotan II in a mini fridge?

Yes, if it maintains consistent 36-46°F temperatures. Use a thermometer to verify. Some mini fridges have wide temperature swings.

How do I know if lyophilized Melanotan II has degraded?

Lyophilized Melanotan II should appear as a white to off-white powder or compressed cake. Yellowing, wet appearance, or clumping suggests moisture exposure or degradation.
