It can change pigmentation; that does not make it FDA-approved or safe.

Misleading
The circulating claim

“Melanotan II is an approved, safer way to get a tan.”

What the source record says

Melanotan II is not FDA-approved. FDA identifies it among substances that may present significant safety risks and describes serious adverse events in the published case record.

Why the claim misleads

A visible tanning effect is being treated as evidence of regulatory approval and overall safety.

Correction

It can change pigmentation; that does not make it FDA-approved or safe.

What changed

Added the source-verified Claim Check to the structured claim/source/change registry.

What would change our answer

A well-controlled human study tied to the exact product, population, route, and claimed outcome could change the answer. Mechanism, anecdotes, or a different product cannot substitute for that evidence.
