PT-141 (Bremelanotide)
PH-PT141-001
Specifications
Description
PT-141, also known as Bremelanotide, is a man-made peptide that helps people who have a low sex drive. It works by affecting the brain to increase sexual desire.
How Does it Work?
PT-141 works by turning on certain receptors in the brain that control sexual desire and arousal. This helps people feel more interested in sex. The FDA approved PT-141 in 2019 to help women who have a low sex drive (Dhillon & Keam, 2019).
