What is PT-141?

PT-141 (Bremelanotide) is a synthetic melanocortin peptide that activates brain receptors to enhance sexual desire in both men and women. Unlike PDE5 inhibitors (Viagra, Cialis), PT-141 works neurologically — increasing sexual motivation from the hypothalamus and limbic system. FDA-approved as Vyleesi (1.75 mg) for hypoactive sexual desire disorder in pre-menopausal women. Effects begin 45–90 minutes after injection and last 6–12 hours. Effective for both sexes.

Benefits of PT-141

Dosing Protocols

Below are evidence-based PT-141 dosing protocols for different experience levels and goals. Always start at the lowest effective dose and assess tolerance before increasing.

Starting Dose: 500 mcg subcutaneous 45–90 min before activity.
Standard: 1 mg (1,000 mcg) as needed.
Maximum: 2 mg — FDA's Vyleesi uses 1.75 mg. Higher nausea risk above 2 mg.

Reconstitution Guide

Proper reconstitution is critical for accurate dosing. Follow these steps carefully:

1
Add 2 mL BAC water to 10 mg vial = 5,000 mcg/mL
2
500 mcg = 0.10 mL | 1 mg = 0.20 mL | 2 mg = 0.40 mL

Injection Site Guide

Recommended sites: Subcutaneous, abdomen or thigh

Rotate injection sites to prevent scar tissue buildup. Clean the injection site with an alcohol swab before injecting. Use a 27-29 gauge insulin syringe for subcutaneous injections. Pinch the skin, insert needle at 45-90°, and inject slowly.

Storage Guidelines

Lyophilized (powder) form: Refrigerate at 36–46°F (2–8°C). Protect from light. Most peptides remain stable for 1–2 years unreconstituted.

Reconstituted solution: Refrigerate immediately after mixing. Use within 4 weeks typically. Do not freeze reconstituted peptides — this may damage the peptide structure.
