Frequently asked

How long does PT-141 stay in your system?

With a half-life of ≈ 2.7 h, roughly 97% of a single PT-141 dose is cleared after five half-lives — about 13.5 hours. Repeated dosing accumulates and takes correspondingly longer to clear.

What does a ≈ 2.7 h half-life mean in practice?

Every 2.7 h, the remaining amount halves: 100% → 50% → 25% → 12.5%, and so on. The curve above plots exactly this decay for a single dose.

Where does this PT-141 half-life number come from?

FDA VYLEESI (bremelanotide) label, NDA 210557 (2019); plasma half-life ≈ 2.7 h. We cite a primary source for every half-life we publish and version every change.
