PT 141 is a synthetic peptide derived from the hormone alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is very potent at increasing sexual arousal in both men and women. Information is being pretty scarce on this topic especially on how to dose it properly, in this post we’ll see how to dose PT 141 properly. For a full overview of PT 141, go check my guide on it.
Factors Affecting PT-141 Dosage
Body weight : A heavier person will very likely require a higher dose of PT 141 to achieve the same effect as a lighter person.
Gender: Studies in animals have shown that male rats require a higher dose of PT 141 than female rats to achieve the same effect. This is also seen in practical application and woman generally require less than men.
Route of administration: PT-141 can be administered by injection or nasal spray. The nasal spray requires a higher dose compared to injection.
Baseline libido: A person with a severe case of sexual dysfunction will very likely require a higher dose of PT-141 to achieve the desired effect compared to an individual who has a “healthy/normal” libido.
Dosing Guidelines of PT-141
The typical dosage range for PT 141 is between 1 and 3 mg when administered subcutaneously. It is usually taken approximately one hour before the intended sexual activity.
However, the onset of action and the resulting sexual enhancement effects can vary, and it may take anywhere from 1 to 6 hours to take effect.
It should not be used more than once within a 24-hour period.
It is recommended to use PT 141 no more than 8 times per month.
Exceeding the recommended frequency can increase the risk of side effects and may not improve efficacy.
If it’s your first-time using PT 141 I recommend starting with 500 mcg (0.5mg), see how you respond to the drug and maybe increase the dose next time you use it.
To achieve optimal arousal and libido enhancement effects for recreational purposes, the recommended dose falls within the range of 1 to 3 mg.
Generally, individuals who are in good health and do not experience significant libido issues may find that doses between 1 and 2 mg provide the desired benefits with minimal side effects.
How to Administer PT 141 Subcutaneously
Here is how to do a subcutaneous injection. If you don’t how much solution to inject, go check my peptide calculator.
Find a fleshy part of the body where there is subcutaneous fat (stomach or glutes). Generally the glutes are the least painful area.
Before administering PT-141 or any peptide always be sure to use a clean and sterile syringe.
- Hold the vial upright and insert the syringe in the center of the cap.
- Draw the plunger until you have the correct amount in the syringe and carefully remove it.
- Before administering the syringe, use alcohol to cleanse the area of skin.
- Pinch the skin around the area to be injected, leave about 2 cm on each side.
- Hold the syringe at a 45 degree angle to your skin and swiftly insert the syringe.
- Depress the plunger fully, until the syringe is empty, and carefully draw out.
Final Tips for Getting the Most Out of Pt-141
Opt for subcutaneous injection administration rather than nasal. It is easier to accurately dose and it costs less.
Start with a low dose and increase gradually as needed. This will help to minimize the risk of side effects and ensure that you get the most benefit from the drug.
Be patient when taking Pt 141. The effects of the drug can take up to two hours to start peaking, so it is important to not get discouraged if you don’t see results right away.
Don’t use it too often if you have a normal/healthy libido.
If you follow these tips, you will be well on your way to getting the most out of Pt 141.
