Sexual dysfunction is more common than one might think. It affects about 31% of men and 43% of women in the United States and can be difficult to deal with. However, sexual dysfunction is easily treatable with medication. PT-141 (Bremelanotide) combats the symptoms of sexual dysfunction in people of all genders.

What is PT-141 (Bremelanotide)?

PT-141 is a synthetic peptide that was developed from a compound used to darken skin pigmentation and induce tanning. During initial testing, researchers discovered a pleasant side effect – it increased sexual desire and arousal in patients. Recognizing this, they pivoted to exploring PT-141’s potential for treating sexual dysfunction. The peptide works directly on the brain to boost sexual drive.

What are peptides?

Peptides are the building blocks of proteins. Composed of amino acids, they regulate a variety of biological functions and processes within the human body. In fact, over 7,000 known peptides exist, each facilitating a unique response and action.

Some common functions of these remarkable molecules include:

  • Providing natural pain relief
  • Aiding in soft tissue repair and accelerating healing processes
  • Promoting weight loss and lean muscle gain
  • Reversing symptoms of sexual dysfunction
  • Improving hormone production and cognitive function

At BionwoRx, we harness the unique properties of peptides to treat specific conditions through our innovative peptide therapy. By leveraging the power of these cellular instructors, we’re able to address a wide range of health concerns and help our patients feel their absolute best.

How does PT-141 work?

PT-141, also known as bremelanotide, directly targets the nervous system to increase sexual arousal, desire, and satisfaction. By stimulating the release of dopamine, a key neurotransmitter involved in sexual motivation, PT-141 can help boost libido and sexual performance. When dopamine levels are low, sexual desire often decreases. However, PT-141 activates the dopamine system, providing the desire and physical ability to become sexually aroused. This peptide addresses common sexual difficulties by enhancing blood flow to the genitals and heightening overall sexual function.

What are the benefits of PT-141?

PT-141 offers a range of potential benefits, including:

  • Increased libido and sexual desire
  • Enhanced sexual gratification and arousal
  • Stronger, more reliable erections
  • Improved mood and vigor

Who is a good candidate for PT-141?

PT-141 (Bremelanotide) is a recommended treatment for individuals experiencing low libido and problems with arousal that are not caused by a medical condition or relationship issues.

Low sex drive and diminished desire are common as we get older, with testosterone and estrogen levels naturally declining. However, this can affect people of all ages. The human sex drive is a complex biological process influenced by various chemical, environmental, and physiological factors – many of which are beyond an individual’s control.

While sexual health can be a sensitive topic, it’s important to address issues like performance and libido. These are often associated with underlying health problems or hormonal imbalances.

What are the side effects of PT-141?

While the ED medication PT-141 can cause side effects like headaches, nausea, and flushing, studies show these side effects are less severe and shorter-lasting compared to other well-known ED drugs. Patients taking PT-141 reported experiencing milder and more manageable headaches than those taking Viagra or Cialis.
