What is PT-141?
PT-141 is a synthetic peptide used to treat sexual dysfunction and boost libido. Also known as Bremelanotide, it works by activating the melanocortin receptor in the brain, which plays a role in sexual arousal and desire.
Some key points about PT-141:
- PT-141 was originally developed as a tanning agent, but researchers discovered it had a powerful effect on libido. It produces sexual arousal in both men and women.
- It is administered as a nasal spray or injection and takes effect in about 30-60 minutes. The effects can last up to 72 hours.
- PT-141 bypasses the hormonal system and directly targets the parts of the brain involved in sexual response and arousal.
- Research shows PT-141 can treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and female sexual disorders like female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD). It increases sexual desire and arousal.
- In studies, over 95% of men with ED reported a positive response to PT-141. Over 85% of postmenopausal women suffering from FSAD also reported increased sex drive and satisfaction.
- Side effects are mild and can include nausea, flushing, headache, and increased blood flow to the penis or clitoris (yielding a temporary erection or swelling).
