PT-141

What is PT-141?

PT-141, also known as Bremelanotide, is a synthetic hormone used as a treatment for sexual arousal disorder and erectile dysfunction. It works by activating the brain pathways involved in sexual desire and response.

Some key points about PT-141:

• PT-141 is a melanocortin based peptide that works as an aphrodisiac. It activates neurons in the hypothalamus, which controls sexual behavior.


• It was originally developed as a treatment for sexual arousal disorder in both men and women. It helps restore normal sexual functioning.


• PT-141 triggers the release of various neurotransmitters and hormones involved in sexual response, like dopamine, testosterone, and endorphins. This enhances arousal, pleasure and performance.


• It's administered as a nasal spray about 1-2 hours before anticipated sexual activity. Effects typically last for 6-72 hours after dosing.


• Side effects are mild and may include nausea, flushing, headache and changes in blood pressure.

As a treatment, PT-141 represents an exciting advancement in helping people with sexual health issues. The doctors at Balance Hormone Clinic stay up-to-date on newer therapies like Bremelanotide.
