In this episode, Dr. Brandon & Dr. Morgentaler talk about the off-label use of bremelanotide (Vyleesi/PT-141) in men—its potential benefits for libido/erections, origins, side effects (notably nausea), and how patients often access it via compounding pharmacies.

00:05 – Dr. Brandon & Dr. Morgentaler dive into Bremelanotide and share how the Goldsteins have been pioneering its research.

02:08 – They laugh about the iconic Katz’s Deli “When Harry Met Sally” scene and its connection to sexual medicine history.

03:06 – The doctors explain how Bremelanotide works, how it’s used by both women and men, and why refills tell an important story.

08:43 – They tackle the criticism that women take these meds “for men,” pushing back and stressing women’s right to pleasure.

19:48 – Wrapping up, they encourage listeners to talk with their doctors or compounding pharmacies if they want to explore this option.
