PT-141 is a synthetic peptide drug developed by Palatin Technologies and GlaxoSmithKline for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) and erectile dysfunction (ED) in males. Also known as Bremelanotide, it works by activating the brain pathways involved in sexual arousal and response.
Some key points about PT-141:
- PT-141 is a melanocortin agonist - it activates receptors in the brain that induce sexual arousal. It is derived from melanotan II, which is a tanning peptide.
- Unlike Viagra and other ED drugs, PT-141 works through the central nervous system rather than peripheral mechanisms. It helps restore natural sexual desire and response, instead of just enabling mechanics.
- Clinical trials show that PT-141 can help restore sexual desire and arousal in both men and women suffering from sexual dysfunctions. In particular, it is very promising for treating female sexual arousal disorder.
- Side effects of PT-141 include facial flushing, nausea, increased erections or general arousal/stimulation. These depend on the dosage and individual body response.
- PT-141 got FDA approval for phase 2 clinical trials but further development stalled. Currently it is offered as an off-label research peptide at selected hormone clinics like Renew Hormone Clinic. Experienced physicians help customize dosage.
