PT-141, also called Bremelanotide, belongs to a class of hormonal peptides that aims to improve sexual functionality in both men and women. PT-141 is an efficacious drug that can treat erectile dysfunction in men while encouraging sexual desire in women. It is an artificial peptide that acts as a melanocortin receptor (MC3R and MC4R) agonist in the central nervous system. Bremelanotide PT-141 helps increase blood flow to the penis in males and the vagina or clitoris in females to encourage sexual arousals. It can be beneficial to treat specific sexual problems in both genders and is generally safe for human consumption.[1] This Melanotan II synthetic peptide was initially made to darken skin and promote tanning, but it caused increased sexual thirst as a side effect. Therefore, PT-141 became an effective therapy to treat sexual difficulties for affected individuals.
PT-141 offers positive results as an innovative and improved therapy to treat sexual challenges in men and women. PT-141 is available in various forms, such as tablets, creams, nasal sprays, and injectables. It is a first-in-class drug and was approved by the U.S. food and drug administration in 2019.
Mechanism of action
Bremelanotide PT-141 is a peptide that acts on melanocortin receptors (responsible for skin pigmentation), including MC3R and MC4R in the brain. It is better to inject bremelanotide PT-141 subcutaneously in thickened areas of the body. Injectables are very effective compared to other dosage forms such as tablets, creams, and nasal sprays. This is why injectable PT-141 is preferable for the expected results from this hormonal therapy.
The dosage form of PT-141 varies individually. Generally, administering 2mg to 4mg before one hour of sexual activity is an effective dose for males and females. AÂ study showed that administering PT-141 to men having erectile dysfunction caused an enhanced erectile action based on the dose administered.[2] Nonetheless, some studies suggest the starting dose be limited to 1mg initially and increase the dose depending on the results. Contacting a certified healthcare professional for the best results based on your condition is a better decision. The results vary from person to person. Some can be benefited instantly, while others may experience effects in several hours. Conclusively, Bremelanotide PT-141 is an innovative and revolutionary hormonal therapy for the treatment of sexual difficulties in both sexes.
