Pt-141

PT-141 (Bremelanotide) Overview

Description:

PT-141, also known as bremelanotide, is a synthetic peptide developed from Melanotan II, a hormone that stimulates melanocortin receptors. Unlike other treatments for sexual dysfunction (such as Viagra or Cialis), PT-141 works directly on the nervous system rather than increasing blood flow. It was originally developed as a tanning agent but was found to have significant effects on libido and sexual arousal.
