/month*

PT-141 is a peptide therapy that enhances sexual arousal and performance by directly stimulating the brain’s arousal pathways.

  • Increases sexual arousal & desire
  • Works independently of hormones
  • Rapid, on demand results
  • Safe, non-addictive, and well tolerated
Get started

Unlike medications that work on blood vessels, PT-141 activates melanocortin receptors in the central nervous system, specifically targeting areas that influence sexual desire and arousal. By engaging these neural pathways, it improves sexual responsiveness in both men and women. This unique mechanism allows it to enhance libido without relying solely on increased blood flow.

PT-141 was derived from research on Melanotan II in the 1990s, when scientists noted its unexpected effects on sexual arousal. Developed further as Bremelanotide, it underwent multiple clinical trials to assess safety and efficacy for sexual dysfunction. In 2019, the FDA approved it for premenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), marking it as the first-of-its-kind therapy. Studies continue to explore its broader potential in addressing sexual dysfunction across different populations.

Reported side effects may include temporary nausea, flushing, or headache, with some individuals experiencing mild increases in blood pressure. These effects are usually short-lived and resolve on their own.

PT-141: a melanocortin agonist for the treatment of sexual dysfunction2003

In men and ED-patient cohorts, PT-141 induced rapid, dose-dependent erectile responses by activating central melanocortin receptors, highlighting its potential for sexual dysfunction beyond vascular pathways.

Double-blind, placebo-controlled evaluation of the safety and pharmacokinetics of PT-141 in healthy and ED subjects2004

In healthy males and ED patients, intranasal PT-141 doses >7 mg produced statistically significant erections compared with placebo, with a favourable tolerability profile and no maximum tolerated dose identified.

Bremelanotide for the Treatment of Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder — Phase 3 Trials in Premenopausal Women2019

In two large, 24-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials, bremelanotide significantly improved sexual desire and related distress compared to placebo, demonstrating clinical efficacy in HSDD.

An Overview of Preclinical CNS Effects on Female Sexual Function (PT-141/Bremelanotide)2007

In ovariectomized, hormone-primed female rat models, peripheral and central administration of PT-141 markedly increased sexual solicitation behaviours and activated hypothalamic/limbic brain regions, supporting central-mechanism activity for sexual desire therapies.

Two-drug combination shows positive results in men with ED: co-administration of PT-141 and Sildenafil2005

In men with erectile dysfunction, the combination of intranasal PT-141 plus sildenafil significantly prolonged erectile duration compared with sildenafil alone, suggesting a synergistic effect via central and peripheral pathways.

AIRA encourages all patients to conduct their own research and consult with a qualified healthcare provider before beginning any peptide or prescription therapy. While PT-141 (bremelanotide) is an FDA-approved medication for specific indications, ongoing research continues to explore its broader potential applications. The information provided on this site is for educational purposes only and should not be interpreted as medical advice or a substitute for professional care. Use of PT-141 outside its FDA-approved indication should be based on a provider’s clinical judgment and individual patient needs. Individual results may vary depending on health status, dosing, and other factors. Always discuss potential risks, benefits, and alternatives with your licensed medical provider prior to starting therapy.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, PT-141 is FDA-approved only for premenopausal women with HSDD. It has not been approved for men, but has been used off-label as it activates the same brain pathways that regulate sexual desire in both sexes. Early data suggest it may improve libido and arousal in men.

Yes, PT-141 has undergone multiple large-scale clinical trials, showing significant improvements in sexual desire and satisfaction compared to placebo.

PT-141 works by activating melanocortin receptors in the brain, which influence sexual desire, arousal, and motivation, addressing the mental component of intimacy rather than hormonal or vascular factors.

Yes, clinical trials show PT-141 is safe and well tolerated. The most common side effects include nausea, flushing, or mild headache, which typically lessen with continued use. Working with a licensed provider helps ensure proper monitoring and product quality.

Those with uncontrolled high blood pressure, heart disease, or who are pregnant or nursing should avoid PT-141 unless advised otherwise by a licensed provider.

PT-141 is most commonly taken as a single subcutaneous injection at least 45 minutes before sexual activity. It’s also available as a nasal spray, offering a needle-free, fast-acting alternative depending on patient preference.

Some providers integrate PT-141 into comprehensive sexual-wellness programs that address hormonal, physical, and psychological factors, but formal combination studies are limited. Any stack should be clinician-supervised.
