Sale framing
Research-use-only posture: CRITICAL CROSS-REFERENCE: PT-141 = bremelanotide = Vyleesi. Every 'PT-141 research peptide' sold by a research-chemical vendor is chemically the same compound as Vyleesi. This is unauthorized diversion of an approved drug, not a legal 'research peptide' gray area.
Personal possession: Not federally criminalized; state laws may vary.
