What this is
PT-141 (bremelanotide) is a prescription peptide that works through the central nervous system to support sexual desire and arousal. It does not work through vascular or hormonal mechanisms but by activating melanocortin receptors in the brain.
At Medura, PT-141 is available as a subcutaneous injection for women experiencing low sexual desire. A licensed provider reviews your health history, determines whether you are an appropriate candidate, and builds a plan that fits your life.

How PT-141 works differently
Most treatments for sexual dysfunction focus on blood flow or hormone levels. PT-141 takes a different path, working directly at the level of the brain to support desire and arousal through melanocortin receptor activity.
Central nervous system mechanism
PT-141 activates MC3R and MC4R melanocortin receptors in the hypothalamus, a region of the brain involved in regulating sexual motivation. This is how it supports desire at the source rather than addressing a downstream symptom.
On-demand use that fits your life
PT-141 is administered subcutaneously about 45 minutes before anticipated activity. There is no daily pill routine. You use it when you want to, guided by your provider on the right dose and timing.
Designed for women with HSDD
PT-141 is specifically studied in women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder. A licensed provider determines whether it is appropriate for you based on your full health history, not a checklist.
