Can you bring Melanotan II to Canada?

• Peptides

  prohibited

  Health Canada says peptides are generally regulated as prescription drugs in Canada, and unauthorized drug products are illegal. Its April 2026 advisory names BPC-157, CJC-1295, DSIP, epitalon, GHK-Cu, ipamorelin, KPV, melanotan I and II, MOTS-c, SS-31, TB-500 and retatrutide among products it has seized, and says a "for research use only" label does not make a product legal. An authorized drug has an eight-digit Drug Identification Number (DIN) on the label. Health Canada works with the Canada Border Services Agency to stop unauthorized shipments. An authorized peptide medicine prescribed to you is a different case: visitors may bring a personal quantity of a prescription drug for their own use (no more than a 90-day supply or one course of treatment, whichever is less), and residents of Canada may bring back a drug prescribed and filled in Canada, but generally not one prescribed or bought abroad. See the prescription medication entry.
