PT-141
Sexual desire, handled in the brain rather than the bloodstream.
- Acts on desire, not blood flow
- Works for men and women
- As-needed dosing
- Different mechanism than PDE5 inhibitors
What it is
Also called bremelanotide. Unlike the familiar ED medications, it acts centrally on desire rather than peripherally on blood flow.
How it works
A melanocortin receptor agonist working in the hypothalamus. Because the mechanism is neurological, it works on arousal itself, not on circulation.
How it is taken
Subcutaneous injection taken as needed ahead of activity, not on a daily schedule.
