Drug Details
Bremelanotide, marketed as Vyleesi, is prescribed for women who have not yet gone through menopause and experience low sexual desire that causes emotional distress. This medication is not intended for use by postmenopausal women or men, nor is it suitable for addressing low sexual desire due to medical, mental, or relationship issues, or as a result of other drugs. Vyleesi works as a melanocortin receptor agonist, interacting with certain brain receptors that may influence sexual behavior, although the precise mechanism is not fully understood. Administered via an autoinjector, it is injected under the skin as needed, at least 45 minutes prior to sexual activity. Users should be aware of potential side effects such as nausea, skin flushing, and reactions at the injection site. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication to ensure it is appropriate for your personal health needs.
