Bremelanotide (PT-141 Autoinjector) Clinical Pharmacology & DailyMed Monograph

RxCUI 2179923 • NDC 71911-0101-04

Cyclic heptapeptide analogue of alpha-MSH that crosses into medial preoptic hypothalamic nuclei to activate melanocortin-4 (MC4R) receptors, stimulating presynaptic dopamine release across central sexual desire and arousal pathways independently of peripheral vascular nitric oxide.

Across 16 community cost disclosures for Bremelanotide (PT-141 Autoinjector) (Vyleesi), cash buyers routing around $890.00 retail markups capture a 81% discount ($165.00/mo benchmark vs $198.0000 NADAC acquisition).

Following administration (1.75 mg SC abdomen/thigh >= 45 min pre-activity (max 1 dose/24h, <= 8 doses/month)), Bremelanotide (PT-141 Autoinjector) achieves 100% subcutaneous autoinjector bioavailability and 45–60 minutes prior to anticipated activity; lasts ~12–18 hours onset, governed by a 2.7 hours terminal half-life through multiple endogenous peptide amide hydrolyses.

Before initiating Bremelanotide (PT-141 Autoinjector) at 1.75 mg SC abdomen/thigh >= 45 min pre-activity (max 1 dose/24h, <= 8 doses/month), clinical safety checklists rule out uncontrolled hypertension (causes transient +6/+3 mmhg systolic/diastolic rise and -2 bpm bradycardia). Logged tolerability patterns center on transient nausea (40% first dose) (36% of reports), facial flushing (21% of reports), focal gingival hyperpigmentation if >8x/mo (6% of reports).
