He took some s/l dee-ko-va-lova and then underwent a very strenuous weight-training workout.

Melanotic is a word but it pertains to melanin or skin pigment. Melenic pertains to melena or black stool. Note the As and Es. Many doctors use this term incorrectly, and many MTs too! I always change it.

What's the final word on this term from all you experienced MTs out there?? Is it "melanotic" or "melenic" or neither one??
