What is PT-141?
PT-141, also known as bremelanotide, is a synthetic peptide hormone that was originally developed as a treatment for sexual desire disorders. It works by activating the melanocortin receptors in the brain which are involved in regulating sexual arousal and desire.
One of the key benefits of PT-141 is that it can help to increase sexual desire and libido in both men and women. For men, PT-141 can help treat erectile dysfunction by promoting erections through increased blood flow. For women, PT-141 is effective at boosting low libido and improving arousal.
How does PT-141 work?
When PT-141 is administered as an injection or nasal spray, it activates melanocortin receptors in areas of the brain involved with sexual response, including the:
- Hypothalamus - regulates sex drive
- Limbic system - controls sexual motivation and arousal
- Hippocampus - linked to sexual memory and recall
This stimulates increased desire and arousal by:
- Triggering norepinephrine release
- Boosting dopamine activity
- Increasing genital blood flow
Studies have shown that PT-141 can generate sexual desire in men and women within minutes of administration. The effects typically peak around 1-2 hours and can last up to 48 hours.
PT-141 for improving sexual function
PT-141 has been researched as a treatment for various sexual disorders including:
- Hypoactive sexual desire disorder (low libido) - PT-141 significantly increases sex drive and satisfaction in women with HSDD.
- Erectile dysfunction - By promoting penile erections, PT-141 may help men unable to get or maintain an erection.
- Female sexual arousal disorder - Women taking PT-141 report increased genital sensation, lubrication, and more frequent orgasms.
The effects of PT-141 on sexual response make it a promising therapy for people looking to improve their sexual function and enjoyment.

When used properly, PT-141 is generally well tolerated. Potential temporary side effects can include:
- Headaches
- Nausea
- Flushing
