PT-141 (Bremelanotide) for Men

The mechanism of how PT 141, (bremelanotide) works in men with erectile dysfunction (ED) or low sexual desire is more understood than how it works in women for sexual dysfunction. It is a peptide that works differently than other drugs for ED so can be tried where a male has not responded to other ED therapies. PT-141(bremelanotide) binds to melanocortin receptors in the brain to increase arousal and desire.
