How to get a PT-141 prescription.

01 · Where to get it
Where to get a PT-141 prescription.
A consultation is an evaluation, not a purchase. The clinician decides whether PT-141 is appropriate for you, and may suggest something else.
- 01
Gynecologist or women's health clinician
For the approved use, a gynecologist or primary care clinician can evaluate symptoms and prescribe Vyleesi.
- 02
Telehealth clinic
A clinician licensed in your state reviews your history by video or questionnaire and, if bremelanotide is appropriate, sends the prescription to a pharmacy that ships to you.
- 03
In-person clinic
A local peptide, hormone, or wellness clinic can examine you, draw labs on site, and handle follow-up in person.
