PT-141 (bremelanotide) is studied for sexual desire and arousal in men and women.
It works through the central nervous system, not on blood flow alone.
A related form is approved for one specific low-desire condition in premenopausal women.
Here it’s prescription only, decided case by case.
Low sexual desire and arousal in men and women
Support for premenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire
A different mechanism from blood-flow-focused options
The strongest evidence for PT-141 (bremelanotide) is two large placebo-controlled trials in premenopausal women, the basis of its FDA approval. Earlier studies were in men.
Bremelanotide is FDA-approved as Vyleesi only for premenopausal women with acquired, generalized low sexual desire that causes marked distress. Other uses, including in men, are off-label. Your free consultation with a nurse practitioner is the place to talk through what is and isn’t known.
One form of PT-141 (bremelanotide) is FDA-approved for a specific medical use; compounded PT-141 is not FDA-approved. PT-141 is available at Cienega by prescription when appropriate, after a consult with our medical team. This page is for general education and is not medical advice.
PT-141 (bremelanotide) is a synthetic peptide that acts on melanocortin receptors in the central nervous system.
One branded form was FDA-approved in 2019 as a prescription product.
Raw or compounded PT-141 is generally a research peptide and is not FDA-approved.
At Cienega Medical it’s prescription only, after a consult with one of our nurse practitioners.
PT-141, also called bremelanotide, is a synthetic peptide in the melanocortin family that interacts with melanocortin receptors. It has been studied for sexual desire. A free consultation with a nurse practitioner is the place to discuss whether it fits your concerns.
A specific branded formulation of bremelanotide received FDA approval in 2019 for acquired, generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder in premenopausal women. That approval does not extend to compounded PT-141, which is not FDA-approved. Your nurse practitioner can explain the distinction and review whether prescribing is appropriate.
PT-141 is not right for everyone. At your free consultation, your nurse practitioner reviews your health history, current medications and existing conditions before prescribing, and will tell you if it is not a fit. Bring your current medication list.
Bottle prices are listed on this page. Every order includes one medication review fee, which covers the review and managing your prescriptions, and is charged once even when prescriptions go out as separate orders the same day. The consultation itself is free.
Pick a time for a free telehealth visit with a nurse practitioner, by phone or video. Before your visit, you fill out a short health form. They go through your health history, your current medications and what you are trying to achieve, then tell you whether this is a sensible fit. Not everyone is, and if you are, they write the prescription and you pay for your bottles plus one medication review fee.
Your prescription is filled by a licensed U.S. 503A compounding pharmacy.
That depends on what your provider prescribes, so it is not something we can put a number on here. Your nurse practitioner tells you at your review roughly how long a bottle should last for you and when it would make sense to order again. You can order as many bottles as your nurse prescribes while you’re on the call, and when you need more, book another call online or call us. Each call where you order adds one $49 medication review. Nothing renews on its own. If you’d like bottles sent on a regular schedule, ask your nurse: it’s worked out case by case, since everyone’s prescription is different.
Both. Collect at West Hollywood, Santa Monica or Calabasas, where we pack it for you and show you how to inject it, all covered by the medication review fee. Or we ship it to your home anywhere in California, at no extra charge.
