PT 141 guide

PT-141 (Bremelanotide) is a cyclic heptapeptide melanocortin receptor agonist.

What you need

PT 141

Bacteriostatic water

Alcohol prep pads

1mL insulin syringes

Cotton swabs

A sharps container

And some damn common sense

Reconstituting a 10mg vial

Pull up 2mL of bac water. Push it slow against the glass so it runs down the side of the vial. Do not blast it in. Do not shake it. Roll the vial gentle or swirl until it clears up.

Drawing it up Pull back air first (same amount you plan to draw). Push that into the vial, flip, then draw your dose slow. Tap out bubbles. This trick stops the vacuum suck-back.

Injection SubQ shot into belly fat or thigh fat. Clean the spot. Pinch. Needle in at a slight angle. Push slow. Done.

Dosing

Start small at 0.25mg to 0.5mg just to see how you feel. Most people like 1mg.

Don’t run it daily. The more you hammer it, the less it works. Keep it at two or three times per week max. Onset is usually one to three hours and the switch can stay easier to flip for a couple days.

Side effects

Flush, warm face, maybe nausea, maybe head pressure. Some people get histamine reactions. An antihistamine like cetirizine can help. If you get nausea, eat light and dial down the dose. Usually these ease up after a few runs.

Storage

Before mixing, you can keep the vial in a cool dark place. After mixing it belongs in the fridge. Don’t freeze. Don’t leave it in light. Use it within 30 days.
