MT-2
10mg
Mix with 2 ml bacteriostatic water → 5 mg/ml · 5,000 mcg/ml
- Hypothetical aliquot
- 100–250 mcg
- 0.02–0.05 ml · 2–5 units on a U-100 syringe
- How often
- Every other day, or 3× weekly
- Until the pigment question in the assay is answered; then a hold
Bench steps
- Let the vial sit until it is no longer cold to the touch.
- Wipe the stopper with 70% isopropyl alcohol. Let it dry.
- Draw 2 ml bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol).
- Run the water slowly down the inside glass — do not blast the cake.
- Roll between finger and thumb until the cake is gone. Do not shake.
- Label the date. Store the solution at 2–8 °C. Do not freeze. Use within 30 days unless the note below says otherwise.
Start at 100 mcg in the notes that bother to titrate. Nausea is the classic first-hour finding in the melanocortin literature. Protect from light.
