About this program

A different approach to sexual health

Sexual dysfunction β€” reduced libido, difficulty with arousal, or poor sexual function β€” affects a significant proportion of both men and women, and is often inadequately addressed in conventional medicine. Many existing treatments target peripheral vascular mechanisms (e.g. PDE5 inhibitors for erections) but do not address central desire and arousal.

PT-141 (Bremelanotide) works differently β€” it acts on the melanocortin system in the brain, directly stimulating neural pathways involved in sexual desire and arousal. This makes it effective for both men and women, and for cases where psychological or central factors are involved.

All consultations for this program are completely confidential. Our doctors approach sexual health with the same clinical care and professionalism as any other area of medicine.

This program may be suitable if you experience:
  • βœ“Reduced sexual desire or libido
  • βœ“Difficulty with arousal or physical response
  • βœ“Erectile dysfunction (particularly where desire is preserved)
  • βœ“HSDD (Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder)
  • βœ“Sexual dysfunction associated with hormonal changes

What your doctor may prescribe

Melanocortin Receptor Agonist β€” For Men & Women

PT-141 (Bremelanotide)

PT-141 is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (Ξ±-MSH). It activates melanocortin receptors (MC3R and MC4R) in the central nervous system β€” specifically pathways in the hypothalamus involved in regulating sexual desire, arousal, and motivation.

Unlike sildenafil (Viagra) or tadalafil (Cialis), which work peripherally by increasing blood flow, PT-141 addresses sexual function at the neurological level. This makes it effective in cases where desire itself is impaired, and it works in women as well as men.

An approved version (Vyleesi) exists in the United States for female HSDD. In Australia, PT-141 is prescribed as a compounded medicine under TGA prescribing authority.

What to expect

How PT-141 works in practice

1

Consultation & prescription

Your Natura doctor reviews your assessment and health history. If appropriate, a prescription is issued and your medicine dispatched within 48h.

2

First use: testing your response

PT-141 is taken as needed β€” 1–3 hours before anticipated sexual activity. Some patients need 2–3 uses to find their optimal dose and timing.

3

Dose optimisation

Your doctor will review your response at follow-up and adjust dosing as needed. Most patients find their optimal protocol within 3–4 uses.

4

Ongoing use

PT-141 is used on an as-needed basis β€” not daily. Repeat prescriptions are available through follow-up consultations.

Eligibility

Suitability considerations

βœ“ Good candidate if you:

  • Have reduced libido or sexual desire
  • Experience arousal difficulties
  • Have tried PDE5 inhibitors with limited effect
  • Are experiencing hormonally-related sexual changes

βœ— Not appropriate if you have:

  • Uncontrolled hypertension (PT-141 transiently affects BP)
  • Severe cardiovascular disease
  • Current pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Known melanoma history

Common side effects include transient nausea (usually mild, resolves within 1–2 hours), facial flushing, and occasional headache. These diminish with use and are manageable with dose adjustment.

Common questions

FAQ β€” Sexual Health & Wellness

Yes. PT-141 was originally studied for female sexual dysfunction. An approved analogue (Vyleesi) is registered for female HSDD in the United States. In clinical trials, women reported significant improvements in desire and arousal. Our doctors assess both male and female patients for this program.
Viagra (sildenafil) and related drugs work peripherally β€” they increase blood flow to the genitals but don't address sexual desire. PT-141 works centrally in the brain, stimulating the neural pathways involved in sexual desire and arousal itself. They can be complementary in some patients β€” discuss with your doctor.
Yes. All consultations are completely confidential. Your information is stored securely and only accessible to your treating doctor. Clinical summaries are only shared with your GP if you explicitly consent to this.
