OK. I'm just making this stuff up. Fair warning.
I too have had some severe gastric burning after Melanotan II.
Melanotan II has a molecular structure that is similar to pentagastrin. I have included links that show the molecular structures of both Melanotan II and pentagastrin.
They are not exactly the same but you can imagine that the molecules may "look" the same to the body when "viewed" from certain sides. That is how molecules bind to receptors in the body - sort of. It may be even more true after Melanotan II starts to be metabolized and is broken down into smaller parts - just look at the molecular structures and "squint". (joke) Remember, I AM MAKING THIS STUFF UP!
Now, read the effects of pentagastrin. Does that sound like reported side effects of Melanotan II? I think so. Pentagastrin is a potent stimulator of acid secretion in the stomach. There may well be some cross stimulation of acid secretion in the stomach by Melanotan II or one of it's breakdown parts when it is metabolized.
So, what does this mean to experimenters like us?
Just guessing, but I would say it couldn't hurt to take an antihistamine like Zyrtec and an H2 blocker like Tagamet at least an hour before injecting. If I were only going to take one I would take the Tagamet.
As usual, calculate your doses and dilutions very carefully and start with a low dose. Remember, if what is in your bottle has problems all bets are off. Caveat Emptor.
Remember also, even if I sound like I know what I am talking about I AM MAKING THIS UP!

Doctor found out that I've a Gastritis TYPE C right now. Could it be related to the use of melanotan II?
I take right now very low dosages of melanotan II without anti-histamine.
Which anti-histamine could you recommend for me?`And will it really help`??`
Kind regards
