Melanotan, as the name sounds, is used for skin tanning. The drug is an effective treatment against skin cancer and rosacea and is also effective in increasing libido. Melanotan works as a stimulator in the body. It stimulates the naturally occurring alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone, which results to Melanogenesis, a process where skin tanning cells (melanocytes) produce melanin, a hormone that is effective alternative to tanning by UV exposure.
