| Message: | Treatment for Male and Female Sexual Dysfunction:
Melanotan-1, the precusor to Melanotan II, would eventually be licensed for commercialization as a tanning agent and has been in development for use as a potential "therapeutic tan," with minimal need for prolonged sun exposure. In the initial clinical testing of Melanotan II, an immediate and unexpected response was noted. The main subject experienced an erection shortly after administration. It was suggested that Melanotan II "may prove equally effective in women" as a "treatment of female sexual dysfunction. At least one study has observed that administration of Melanotan II may increase sexual desire, which should warrant further "investigation of centrally acting agents on disorders of sexual desire.
Theoretically, Melanotan II may enhance sexual function in males (erectile activity) and females (increased levels of sexual desire and genital arousal). Unlike other sexual-enhancement drugs, it is hypothesizedd that Melanotan II works at a neurological level, eliciting a more "natural" sexual response with minimal side effects. It was suggested that Melanotan II "may prove equally effective in women" as a "treatment of female sexual dysfunction.[5] At least one study has observed that administration of Melanotan II may increase sexual desire, which should warrant further "investigation of centrally acting agents on disorders of sexual desire.
