How bremelanotide works 

Bremelanotide works by activating the melanocortin receptors in the brain that control mood and thinking. This in turn helps improve a woman’s sexual desire only if it has diminished. It is important to note that this medication only works if a woman had sexual desire before perimenopause started and lost interest such as absence of sexual fantasies, thoughts, or desire for sexual activity.
