Description
PT-141 (Bremelanotide) 10mg is a synthetic peptide acting as a melanocortin receptor agonist, used to treat hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) and erectile dysfunction by increasing libido directly through the central nervous system. It activates MC4R receptors in the brain, offering a non-hormonal, non-vascular alternative for sexual dysfunction, usually administered via subcutaneous injection.
Key Aspects of PT-141 10mg:
- Mechanism of Action: Unlike Viagra or Cialis, which act on blood flow (vascular system), PT-141 works through the nervous system to increase sexual desire. It binds to melanocortin receptors (primarily MC4R) to boost arousal.
- Primary Uses: Used for treating erectile dysfunction and sexual arousal disorders in men and women. It is specifically approved in some regions for HSDD in premenopausal women.
- Administration: It is typically administered via subcutaneous injection in the abdominal fat, usually 45–60 minutes before sexual activity.
- Dosage: A 10mg vial is commonly sold for reconstitution. Typical research or initial doses range, with starting points often around 0.5–1mg.
- Common Side Effects: Temporary nausea, headache, and facial flushing.
- Origin: Derived from Melanotan 2 (MT-2), a synthetic peptide developed for sunless tanning.
