Meccanismo d'azione

Carbetocin

Carbetocin is an oxytocin receptor agonist with prolonged duration. It triggers a sustained contraction of the uterus after birth, preventing atonic hemorrhage — unlike oxytocin, without a multi-hour infusion.

Melanotan II

Melanotan II binds non-selectively to all five melanocortin-receptor subtypes (MC1R-MC5R). Via MC1R in melanocytes, eumelanin synthesis is stimulated (pigmenting effect). Via MC4R and MC3R in the CNS, appetite, sexual function and blood pressure are modulated. The cyclic structure and D-amino acids increase stability compared to natural α-MSH.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Carbetocin and Melanotan II?: Carbetocin is classified as "Ricerca (altro)", while Melanotan II is classified as "Ricerca (altro)". Carbetocin: Carbetocin is a long-acting synthetic oxytocin analog (half-life ~40 minutes). It prevents postpartum hemorrhage as a single injection. Approved in Canada and the UK among others, NOT in the US. Melanotan II: Cyclic hepta-peptide and non-selective melanocortin-receptor agonist. Originally researched at the University of Arizona as a sun-protection concept — never approved as a medicine. Widespread on the black market; regulatory warnings for cardiovascular and oncological risks. This page contrasts both neutrally and source-based — with no usage or dosing recommendation.
Which peptide is better supported by science, Carbetocin or Melanotan II?: The highest available evidence level is "RCT sull'uomo" for Carbetocin and "Studio sull'uomo" for Melanotan II. A higher evidence level means more robust data, but says nothing about suitability for an individual. The full body of evidence is on each peptide's own page.
What is the legal status of Carbetocin and Melanotan II in Germany and the United States?: Germania: Carbetocin — Su prescrizione, Melanotan II — Non approvato. Stati Uniti: Carbetocin — Non approvato, Melanotan II — Non approvato. These are factual summaries with source and review date on the individual pages.
