PT-141 is a melanocortin based peptide used for treating sexual dysfunction. Also known as Bremelanotide, it was originally developed as a sunless tanning agent by Palatin Technologies.
How does PT-141 work? PT-141 activates receptors in the brain that are responsible for sexual arousal and appetite. By targeting the central nervous system, it can help restore normal sexual function in both men and women.
What conditions can PT-141 treat? PT-141 has been primarily investigated for treating female sexual arousal disorder and erectile dysfunction in men. By increasing circulation and sensory signals in erogenous zones, it can enhance arousal, pleasure and orgasm.
How is PT-141 administered? Unlike oral ED medications like Viagra, PT-141 comes as a nasal spray that is absorbed into the bloodstream. Effects are noticed within 30-60 minutes and last up to 6 hours. The most common dosage is 1.25mg.
What are the side effects? Possible side effects of PT-141 include nausea, flushing, headache and fatigue. These are generally mild and tend to go away quickly. It is well tolerated in research studies.
As PT-141 modulates complex neural pathways, response can vary individually.

Is PT-141 FDA approved? While widely available, PT-141 does not yet have FDA approval for sexual dysfunction. It has undergone successful Phase 2 and 3 clinical trials demonstrating safety and efficacy. Some peptide specialty clinics can legally prescribe it off-label for indicated uses.
What should I know before trying PT-141? Always consult a medical provider before taking any new medication. Contraindications include uncontrolled high blood pressure, cardiovascular risks, and history of nasal disorders. As a powerful vasodilator, overdose can lead to severe hypotension. Start low and slow with dosing.
