Injection
PT-141
A peptide that supports desire and arousal.
What it is
PT-141 is a melanocortin peptide. It works on the brain rather than on blood flow, which makes it different from the usual options.
What it's used for
Supporting sexual desire and arousal when interest has faded.
How it's taken
A small under-the-skin injection you give yourself at home. The prescribing provider sets the dose and schedule, and the pharmacy sends written instructions with your order. We walk you through the first one if you'd like. It's ordered in packs of one, two or three vials.
What to expect
Flushing and mild nausea are the most common side effects. The provider will talk you through timing.
Who it's not for
- Anyone who is pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or nursing.
- Anyone under 18.
- Anyone with uncontrolled high blood pressure or heart disease.
- The partner medical intake asks about your health history and current medications, and the provider decides whether it's a fit.
