What is PT 141?

PT-141, also known as Bremelanotide, is a synthetic peptide currently being researched as a treatment for sexual dysfunction. It is a Melanotan II derivative developed initially as a tanning agent. PT-141 has many potential benefits, including increased sexual desire and arousal, improved erectile function, and potential benefits for individuals with low libido or sexual dysfunction.

How does PT 141 work?

PT-141 works by activating the melanocortin system, which regulates several physiological processes, including sexual function. It works by increasing the release of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain, which can help to increase sexual desire and arousal.

Who can benefit with PT 141?

PT-141 may benefit men with sexual dysfunction, including erectile dysfunction. In clinical trials, men who received PT-141 reported improved erectile function and increased satisfaction with sexual activity. PT-141 may improve erectile function by increasing blood flow to the penis, which could benefit men who experience low libido or other sexual concerns.

PT 141 Nasal Spray vs Injection?

Nasal Spray:

Pros:

  • More convenient: can be used almost anywhere, anytime.

  • Less invasive: no needles involved, making it suitable for those with a needle phobia.

Cons:

  • Variable absorption: effectiveness can be influenced by individual nasal physiology or presence of a cold/allergies.

  • Less predictable results: due to variability in absorption.

Injection:

Pros:

  • Consistent absorption: injections provide a more predictable absorption rate, leading to more reliable results.

  • Potentially stronger effect: direct delivery into the body can produce a more potent response.

Cons:

  • Discomfort: some people might find injections uncomfortable or daunting.

  • Less convenient: requires a bit more preparation and privacy to administer compared to a nasal spray.

Remember: it’s important to discuss these options with your healthcare provider to make an informed decision that suits your needs and lifestyle.

PT 141 Dosage

Injection:

  • Dosage: Between 0.1 to 0.3 cc.

  • When: Typically administered before sexual activity.

  • Guidance: Start with smaller doses and gradually increase based on your physician’s recommendation.

Nasal Spray:

  • Dosage: One spray into either nostril.

  • Potential variable: The exact dosage absorbed can vary due to factors such as nasal physiology or presence of a cold or allergies.

  • Guidance: Start with smaller doses and gradually increase based on your physician’s recommendation.

Always remember, the dosage should be individualized based on the your response and tolerance.

PT 141 Cost and How do I get it?

PT 141 typically costs around $99 for a supply of 5 doses, making it a reasonably priced option for those seeking to enhance their sexual function. The brand name of PT 141 is Vyleesi and can cost several hundred dollars for a few doses. The most secure and affordable way to get PT 141 is through a prescription from a licensed medical doctor, filled by an FDA-approved compounding pharmacy. When purchasing this medication, it’s crucial to exercise caution, particularly regarding online transactions. The internet is flooded with vendors selling medications, but not all can be trusted to provide a safe and effective product. The compounding pharmacies are strictly regulated, ensuring the safety, quality, and efficacy of the drugs they dispense. Moreover, they can customize medications to fit individual needs, further enhancing their effectiveness. So, while PT-141 can be a life-changing treatment for many, it’s essential to prioritize safety by obtaining it through the proper channels.

Any clinical trials that shows benefit?

Women who received PT-141 reported increased sexual desire and arousal and increased satisfaction with sexual activity. PT-141 also has potential benefits for women with sexual dysfunction. It may be due to the peptide’s ability to increase the release of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain. PT-141 may also benefit women with low libido or other sexual concerns.

It is important to note that PT-141 is still in the research phase and is not approved for general use by the FDA. As with any medication, it is essential to consult a healthcare provider before considering its use.

PT-141 has the potential to provide relief and improved sexual function for individuals with sexual dysfunction. As research on this peptide continues, we may see it become an increasingly popular and effective treatment option for individuals seeking to improve their sexual health and well-being.

This is what one of my patient says about the PT 141 Experience

“Ever since I began taking PT-141, the transformation in my sexual function has been nothing short of astounding. Prior to starting the treatment, I was grappling with waning libido and the frequent onset of erectile dysfunction, which took a toll on both my self-esteem and my relationship. However, PT-141 marked a turning point. After the first few doses, I started noticing an uptick in my sexual desire, and to my relief, the persistent issues with erectile dysfunction gradually subsided. The best part? It felt natural, not like a forced or artificial stimulation. Today, my relationship has flourished anew, my confidence has skyrocketed, and I feel more connected to my partner than ever before. PT-141 didn’t just restore my sexual function; it reignited a part of my life I feared I’d lost.”
