PT-141 is a melanocortin based peptide used for treating sexual dysfunction. Also known as Bremelanotide, it works by activating the melanocortin receptors in the brain associated with sexual arousal and appetite.
Some key things to know about Bremelanotide:
- It was originally developed as a sunless tanning agent before researchers discovered it also induced erections in men.
- While Viagra treats ED by enabling erections, PT-141 generates sexual desire and arousal. It's like an 'on switch' for libido.
- It comes in injectable or intranasal spray form. Effects can last 6-72 hours depending on the dosage.
- Both men and women report increased libido, sexual arousal and satisfaction from using it.
So who uses PT-141 and why?
People with
low sex drive or inhibited sexual desire are prime candidates. It may also help those unable to take PDE5 inhibitors like Viagra. The effects can help override emotional or psychological barriers to intimacy and arousal.
Of course, consult your physician before trying it.
While generally safe when used responsibly, side effects can include nausea, flushing, headaches and slight tan tinting of the skin at higher doses. It’s also not approved by the FDA yet and long-term effects need more research.
If you’re struggling with sexual dysfunction or inhibited arousal and want to learn more about PT-141 (Bremelanotide), I suggest contacting the hormone therapy pros at Renew Medical HRT Clinic clinic. Their physicians can advise if it’s suitable for your needs, desired effects and body chemistry when used as part of an integrated hormone therapy protocol.
So in summary,
PT-141 works differently than erectile dysfunction meds by targeting the brain’s arousal and desire pathways rather than just enabling erections. For the right patients, it can help override psychological barriers and rekindle sexual chemistry and satisfaction. But work closely with your healthcare provider to use it in a safe, responsible way.
