PT-141 (10mg)

Original price was: $85.00.Current price is: $66.00.

PT-141, also called Bremelanotide (generic clinical name), is a heavily modified synthetic derivative of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It has been tested in clinical trials as a treatment for both male/female hypoactive sexual desire disorder and acute hemorrhage. PT-141 is an agonist for the melanocortin-4 and melanocortin-1 receptors. Research shows that it promotes sexual arousal and stimulates the immune system.

PT-141 (Bremelanotide) is a synthetic peptide derived from melanocortin analogs. Unlike traditional sexual function agents that work through the vascular system (e.g., PDE5 inhibitors), PT-141 directly activates the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) in the central nervous system, stimulating arousal pathways in the brain.

Initially developed as a tanning agent, PT-141 was found to induce sexual desire and response in both men and women. It is clinically studied for hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) and has been FDA-approved (as Vyleesi®) for this condition in premenopausal women.

Its effects are neurological rather than vascular, making it effective even in individuals who do not respond to traditional erectile dysfunction treatments.

PT-141 is a melanocortin receptor agonist, acting primarily on the MC4R and MC3R located in the hypothalamus. It enhances sexual behavior and desire by activating central arousal pathways.

Key pharmacological actions:

  • Stimulates dopaminergic and melanocortin neural circuits
  • Enhances libido and sexual responsiveness in both sexes
  • Bypasses the nitric oxide pathway — effective even when PDE5 inhibitors are not
  • Minimal peripheral effects on blood flow compared to sildenafil or tadalafil

This makes PT-141 a unique therapeutic option for addressing low sexual desire in both men and women.

PT-141 is generally well tolerated, though some individuals may experience mild to moderate side effects, especially with higher doses.

Potential side effects include:

  • Facial flushing
  • Nausea (most common at doses above 1.75 mg)
  • Transient headache
  • Injection site irritation
  • Increased blood pressure (temporary)

These effects typically subside within a few hours. Nausea may be mitigated by dose reduction or anti-nausea agents if needed.

Documented Benefits:
  • Improved sexual arousal and libido
  • Effective in both men and women
  • Useful in PDE5-inhibitor non-responders
  • CNS-based mechanism — not dependent on vascular function
  • May also support mood enhancement and confidence
⚠️ Potential Side Effects:
  • Nausea (dose-dependent)
  • Headache or mild dizziness
  • Facial flushing or warm sensation
  • Transient increase in blood pressure

Most effects are short-lived and dose-related.

  • Not recommended in individuals with uncontrolled hypertension
  • Avoid in those with a history of stroke, cardiovascular events, or serious heart disease
  • Use caution in individuals prone to nausea or motion sickness
  • Not intended for continuous daily use — limit to 1–2 times per week maximum
  • Do not use with alcohol or CNS depressants, as this may increase side effect severity

PT-141 has no known major drug-drug interactions, but caution should be taken when combining with:

  • Antihypertensives, due to potential for blood pressure changes
  • CNS-acting medications, including sedatives or dopamine agonists
  • PDE5 inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil) — combined use is possible but must be medically supervised

Always space PT-141 and other sexual enhancement agents by several hours unless directed otherwise by a provider.

PT-141 has not been studied extensively in pregnant or breastfeeding individuals and should be avoided during these periods. While preclinical data show minimal reproductive toxicity, its effects on fetal development or milk production are unknown.

PT-141 is strictly contraindicated in pediatric populations. It is a CNS-active sexual arousal agent and is inappropriate for use in anyone under the age of 18.

PT-141 (Bremelanotide) has been FDA-approved under the trade name Vyleesi® for the treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in premenopausal women.

However, compounded formulations such as injectables are not FDA-approved for general or off-label use in other populations. Compounding pharmacies may produce PT-141 in injectable form under regulatory guidelines.
