But who cares? An online forum dedicated to Melanotan has more than 50,000 posts, most of which are about "Usage and Experimentation." Many describe detailed regimens for attaining darker skin and/or improved sexual function.

It must be remembered that in early animal trials, injections of the Clinuvel's drug caused a yellow dog's fur to become black and visibly darkened a frog's skin in minutes.

And once a drug is approved by the FDA for one purpose, it's easier to extend it to new conditions, just like the glaucoma-treatment turned eyelash enhancer, wrote  Alexis Madrigal on the Wired.  So many should be looking forwards to the FDA approval of the new Clinuvel drug.

"Market research has shown that the product has blockbuster potential in particular when used as a lifestyle drug, which draws a strong comparison to Botox or Viagra, two products with booming sales today."
