PT-141, explained

A drug studied for low sexual desire in a defined clinical population.

Selected randomized phase 3 clinical studiesRead the sources

What it’s used for

Approved medicine context

Sexual desire in women

The approved bremelanotide medicine is for acquired low desire in premenopausal women. Trials found modest improvements in desire and distress.

Community reports

Erections

Men report erectile-function use 45–60 minutes before sex. It is not approved for men.

Community reports

Arousal and satisfaction

Reported uses include arousal, sexual satisfaction and performance anxiety.

Side effects & safety

Side effects

  • Nausea — it affected 40% of people treated in the approved-product trials
  • Flushing and headache
  • Darkened skin patches (hyperpigmentation), which can be lasting
  • A temporary rise in blood pressure and drop in heart rate
  • Nasal irritation or bleeding with nasal use
  • Slower stomach emptying, which can change how oral medicines are absorbed

Stop and get help if

  • Chest pain
  • Severe vomiting
  • Changes in vision or headache
  • Signs of an allergic reaction
  • An erection lasting more than four hours

Avoid or check first

  • Uncontrolled high blood pressure or known heart disease — the label lists both as contraindications
  • Pregnant or could become pregnant — the label advises effective contraception and stopping if pregnancy is suspected
  • Taking oral naltrexone for alcohol or opioid addiction — PT-141 lowers naltrexone levels
  • Taking nitrates

In sport

  • The reference reports: not on WADA’s banned list.

How to mix5 steps
  1. Wipe both tops

    Wash your hands, then swab both rubber vial tops with alcohol. Let them dry.

  2. Draw the water

    Use a new sterile syringe to draw the water volume selected in the calculator.

  3. Run it down the wall

    Introduce the water slowly down the inside glass wall, rather than directly onto the powder.

  4. Swirl, don’t shake

    Gently swirl or roll the vial. Allow time for the powder to dissolve.

  5. Label the vial

    Write the preparation date and the amount and final volume on the vial label.

Injecting under the skinWhere, rotating sites, which syringe

Where

Subcutaneous injections go into the fatty layer beneath the skin. Common sites include the abdomen, outer thigh and upper arm. Keep at least 5 cm from the navel and avoid bruised, irritated or damaged skin.

Rotate sites

Change the spot each time. Clean the skin and let it dry.

Single-use equipment

Use a new sterile needle and syringe each time. Place used needles in a sharps container.

Storage

Storage

Refrigerated at 2-8°C. Reported period: 30 days.

What the research says

RECONNECT · two randomized placebo-controlled trials

The question being studied

Two 24-week RECONNECT trials assigned 1,267 women who had not reached menopause and had a diagnosed low-desire disorder to study groups. The main analysis included 1,202 people and measured desire and related distress.

How long it stays in your body

Half-life is the time it takes for the amount in the body to fall by half. It does not tell you how long effects last.

N-acetylated cyclic heptapeptide. The label writes Ac-Nle-cyclo-(Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys-OH); the simple residue tokens do not encode ring connectivity.

Molecular notes

Bremelanotide acetate / PT-141 reference molecule. The acetate formula and free-base mass use different stated reference conventions; neither verifies the Monroe vial.

Questions

What does 10mg mean?

It describes an amount of material in the unit stated on the label. It does not describe liquid volume, a dose, or how to prepare the product.

Read more about amounts
Does purity mean it is sterile?

No. Purity and sterility require different tests. An endotoxin result also does not establish sterility.

About testing
Can I calculate concentration?

You need a mass in mg and either a final volume or a target concentration. IU and blends require separate, verified information.
