How does PT-141 (Bremelanotide) work for Female Sexual Dysfunction?

Back to FAQs

PT-141 (Bremelanotide) is a peptide therapy that works through the central nervous system to enhance sexual desire and arousal. Unlike medications that work primarily on blood flow, PT-141 acts on the brain’s melanocortin receptors to increase libido.

Benefits of PT-141 (Bremelanotide)  include:

  • Increased sexual desire and arousal
  • Enhanced sensitivity and pleasure
  • Improved orgasmic response
  • Works for women who don’t respond to other treatments
  • Can be used as needed before intimate activity

PT-141 is typically self-administered via subcutaneous injection 45 minutes to a few hours before sexual activity.
