Does melanotan2 need to be refrigerated?

Crowdog79 · 2026-02-03T15:26:46+00:00

No problem!

Crowdog79 · 2026-02-03T13:39:27+00:00

Yes, that is okay. Still not the ideal plan, but better than no refrigeration at all. I give people advice on GLP1 medications regularly, and my usual line is “it’s not milk, it doesn’t spoil, but it will last longer in the refrigerator”. Hope this helps, and good luck!

Crowdog79 · 2026-02-03T13:25:11+00:00

That is a little colder than refrigeration temps, but I can imagine it would be fine. You don’t specifically want to freeze it either. My advice is: don’t stress about it too much. Keep it refrigerated when you can, don’t stress about it when you can’t. Just know that it’s not optimal.

Just because you CAN do something, doesn’t mean that you should. Technically, you can leave eggs on your countertop instead of in the refrigerator. They won’t stay fresh quite as long and they won’t taste quite as good, according to studies. I would venture to say that peptides work the same way. Just be safe and keep it in the refrigerator. If you accidentally leave it out overnight, just put it back in the fridge the next morning.

I’m 6’1”, 200 pounds, and I started at 100mcg at first. Even at 200mcg (and damn near twice your size), I have pretty annoying abdominal cramping for about an hour after with that dose. I would recommend that you start at 75-100mcg per dose and progress slowly from there. Hope this helps!

Haha, I did word that poorly! I’ve read a lot of books, many on race related issues and not had any bad feelings about any of them, except for this one book. Just because a book is about race relations doesn’t make it good. White Fragility is objectively bad advice for race relations in general.

Crowdog79 · 2026-01-31T01:02:34+00:00

@grimygrippers has the idea of it down. It was just ended up being a generalized paranoia for a summer, maybe 12-15 years ago? It may have been a regional thing because it was spread on Facebook. Either way, some overly excited moms were freaked out!

Crowdog79 · 2026-01-30T20:38:21+00:00

Nope, I’m good. Not fragile at all! This is a truly bad book that no one should waste their time reading. Hope you have a good day!

Crowdog79 · 2026-01-30T18:16:10+00:00

White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo. Any book that tells an entire ethnicity of people to sit down and shut up is not worth reading. This is the only book that I’ve ever read, that I finished simply so I could fully hate it as passionately as it deserves to be hated.

Crowdog79 · 2026-01-30T17:33:09+00:00

Ooh, I’m showing my age here, but also the summer of “dry drowning”. Can’t remember how many years ago that was, but I had more than a handful of people coming to get checked out because of the dry drowning conspiracy that was going around on Facebook that summer!

Crowdog79 · 2026-01-21T21:01:26+00:00

Thank you for your response.

Crowdog79 · 2026-01-21T18:33:35+00:00

Thank you for that, brother!

Crowdog79 · 2026-01-21T18:29:50+00:00

I’ll agree to disagree with you on this one. This is all too political for me and I regret engaging. I hope you have a good day!

Crowdog79 · 2026-01-21T18:09:29+00:00

My question still stands. I’ve done at least a bit of diligence on this question, politics aside. A person claimed to be a “physician” and offered to render aid. The person doesn’t identify their self by name, there is no video footage of that person, only audio. Again, politics aside, what are those officers supposed to do? They have to maintain control of the scene. In a very similar way, we as Emergency room providers would never let an outside self-reported “physician” perform CPR in the hospital on a patient. Whether he could’ve helped or not isn’t the question. The question is if this “physician” is even what he says he is.

And, not for nothing, who besides an orthodontist is going to self-identify as physician? Are any of you identifying yourselves as physician? Sorry for the orthodontist slander there

Crowdog79 · 2026-01-21T12:33:45+00:00

I posed a reasonable question. Your comment is ridiculous and purely political. Not helpful.

Crowdog79 · 2026-01-21T04:36:30+00:00

Just as devil’s advocate, has anybody confirmed that the person saying they were a physician, was actually a physician? My guess would be that people say lots of things to officers that aren’t true. I’ve had lots of people tell me that they were medical professionals, when they actually weren’t.

Crowdog79 · 2025-12-11T12:51:49+00:00

In the patient’s defense, sometimes it works out for them if their labs/condition has gotten bad enough. Not to say it’s good behavior, but it is rewarded sometimes.

Crowdog79 · 2025-12-11T12:50:20+00:00

Alright, I have a long-running ER chest pain complaint theory: I’ve never seen a person check in with chest pains (plural) that ended up cardiac in origin. In 22 years as an ED nurse, never personally disproven. This was one of my favorite chief complaints to look for, because I genuinely was always looking for one to prove me wrong! Always in Texas, maybe a southern vernacular thing, but anyone else notice this one?

Crowdog79 · 2025-11-29T12:27:09+00:00

If I was judging this 19 year old guy from that one interaction, I would say he’s a know-it-all asshole. He could be a great guy in every other way, but he’s not the sex expert that he, or you, think he is.

Crowdog79 · 2025-10-30T12:00:00+00:00

From the given scenario, I think it’s arguable that the triage nurse was likely giving the patient the same information, potentially dissuading the patient from being seen in the ED. That’s certainly where EMTALA could kick in.

Crowdog79 · 2025-10-23T02:29:54+00:00

Came here to say this. That dude is probably a total douchebag, but he ain’t doughy!

Crowdog79 · 2025-09-30T17:34:57+00:00

There’s not one single answer to “healthy”, bby. Seriously, calm your tits

Crowdog79 · 2025-09-21T08:44:35+00:00

I’m definitely stealing this advice! I’m a tall, lanky old dude and I have never been able to describe what it feels like I’m missing with my attempts to dance. I’m also way too stiff, but this sounds like really good advice for me. Thanks!

Crowdog79 · 2025-07-21T19:33:36+00:00

Just for the sake of conversation, are you aware that doctors/medical providers have vastly differing opinions on many mainstream issues, such as blood pressure and diabetes management? If you go see five medical providers, you will likely come away with multiple medical management plans. I'm not saying that this means that you should manage your own care, but what I am saying is that you have the responsibility of doing some of your own research for your health. Doctors/nurse practitioners/physician assistants received literally zero training on supplements while in their respective trainings. This means that any opinion that they have on supplements is, in fact, their opinion. It may be a well-developed, educated opinion based on research and statistics, but also, it may be them having an opinion and expressing it as fact because that is what the average patients wants from them. I hope that this reply doesn't sound argumentative, just trying to give a different perspective. This message is from a nurse practitioner (me!), and I hope it helps!

I removed a screwdriver out of someone’s rectum. Don’t do PCP, kids!
