PT-141 is a peptide used for treating sexual dysfunction and enhancing sexual desire. Also known as Bremelanotide, it is a synthetic hormone that activates melanocortin receptors, part of the brain's circuitry controlling sexual excitement and arousal.
How does PT-141 work?
PT-141 works by activating the central melanocortin pathway in the hypothalamus region of the brain, which plays a key role in sexual arousal and response. When administered, PT-141 binds to and activates melanocortin receptors, triggering a cascade of signaling that results in increased blood flow, arousal, and desire.
In studies, both men and women report greater levels of sexual arousal and satisfaction when using PT-141. For men, it can help treat erectile dysfunction and enhance erections. For women, PT-141 increases libido and heightens sensitivity.
What conditions is PT-141 used for?
The main uses of PT-141 include:
- Treating female sexual arousal disorder - lack of libido or inability to become sufficiently aroused
- Treating erectile dysfunction in men
- Enhancing sexual arousal and pleasure in healthy adults
It has also shown promise for treating
orgasmic disorder and
hypoactive sexual desire disorder.

While self-injection at home is possible, it's advisable to have your first dose in a medical setting in case of any side effects. The hormone experts at
