PRODUCT INFO
PT-141 (also known as bremelanotide) is a synthetic peptide developed from melanocortin. It was originally studied for tanning effects, but researchers found it had a strong impact on sexual arousal rather than pigmentation.
Key Points:
-
Mechanism: PT-141 works by activating melanocortin receptors in the brain, which are involved in sexual desire. This is different from drugs like Viagra or Cialis, which act on blood flow.
-
Uses:
-
FDA-approved (as Vyleesi™) for premenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD).
-
Studied (off-label) in men for erectile dysfunction, especially when PDE5 inhibitors don’t work.
-
-
Administration: Usually given as a subcutaneous injection about 45 minutes before activity.
-
Effects: Increases sexual desire, arousal, and sometimes physical readiness.
-
Side effects: Can include nausea, flushing, headache, and increased blood pressure. Some people also report darkening of skin freckles or moles.
