What is melanotan 1?
Melanotan I, also called afamelanotide, is an FDA approved drug that switches on melanocortin receptors, sold as Scenesse. It darkens the skin to protect people with erythropoietic protoporphyria, a rare disorder that makes skin extremely sensitive to light. It is given as a slow-release implant under the skin. Unlike melanotan 2, it has a specific, approved medical use in the US, UK, Australia, and Canada.
