PT-141, also known as Bremelanotide, is a synthetic hormone that was originally developed to treat sexual arousal disorders. More recently, it has been used as an off-label treatment for erectile dysfunction and to enhance sexual desire in both men and women.
So how does PT-141 work exactly? Essentially, it activates the melanocortin 4 receptor which is involved in regulating sexual excitation. This causes an increase in dopamine and norepinephrine levels in the brain, stimulating arousal and heightening sensual response.
Some key benefits of PT-141 include:
- Increases libido and sexual arousal
- Can treat erectile dysfunction by enabling men to get and maintain an erection
- Heightens sensitivity and pleasurable sensations
- May increase number or intensity of orgasms
Unlike Viagra which works on the mechanical aspects of an erection, PT-141 directly affects the brain's arousal and pleasure centers. This makes its effects more psychological than physiological.
It's available in injectable or nasal spray form. Effects are noticed within 30-60 minutes and can last up to 6 hours. Some possible side effects include nausea, flushing, headache and fatigue.
