Does PT-141 really work?

It is FDA approved under the brand name Vyleesi specifically for hypoactive sexual desire disorder in premenopausal women, on the strength of trials covering more than 1,200 participants, which is a real approval rather than a marketing claim. It works through the melanocortin receptor system rather than the vascular mechanism erectile dysfunction drugs use, which is also why its most reported side effects, nausea and flushing, differ from those drugs.
