PT-141, also known as Bremelanotide, is a synthetic hormone that was originally developed to treat sexual dysfunction. It works by activating the melanocortin receptors in the brain that are responsible for sexual arousal and desire.
Some key things to know about PT-141:
- It is a melanocortin agonist - meaning it activates melanocortin receptors. The melanocortins it targets are responsible for sexual excitement.
- It was originally developed by Palatin Technologies as a drug for treating female sexual dysfunction and erectile dysfunction. It was given the developmental name Bremelanotide.
- PT-141 was eventually shelved as a drug for sexual dysfunction, but it has found a new life as a popular injectable peptide hormone used by bodybuilders and people seeking increased libido and sexual performance.
How does PT-141 work?
When injected, PT-141 travels through the bloodstream to the brain. It
activates melanocortin receptors which stimulate dopamine and nitric oxide signaling pathways. This enhances arousal, desire, and sexual responsiveness.
Many users report that PT-141 gives increased pleasure and intensity during sexual activity. Women may experience increased sex drive, genital sensitivity, ability to have multiple orgasms, and more intense orgasms.
Dosage and side effects
PT-141 comes in vials of 5-10mg and is injected under the skin or into the muscle. Starting dosage is typically 1-2mg for men and 0.5-1mg for women.
Possible short-term side effects include nausea, flushing, headache, and appetite loss. It is not recommended for people with cardiovascular issues.
While more research is still needed,
studies have shown PT-141 to be safe when used responsibly. As with any hormone treatment, dosage and cycling are important.
