Classically, it's before menopause, so those hormonal issues are not contributing.

And when you give them this peptide, it's also known as PT-141, it helps significantly.

A lot of times you use it in nasal spray, it goes straight into the central nervous system and acts centrally.

You can also inject it, and you can also take it via trochee.

Men and women take it?

Correct.

It's approved for women, but it can also help men.

And it's relatively safe.

The only relative contraindication that I tell people, and a lot of people say, oh, there's no side effects that I know of.

But if you have a family history of melanoma or potentially have a melanoma and don't know about it, that's why I'm a big advocate of dermoscopy as well and regular skin checks, then theoretically it's gonna increase that alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone.

and it can grow that.

So that's definitely not a good thing.

So be very careful about long-term administration of it.

It's also approved for lipodystrophy, which is the same exact thing as tesamorelin, which I believe is also known as Evista or Agrifta.

And then it's also approved for the rare genetic condition where your receptors or your melanocytes don't proliferate as well.

So you usually have hypopigmentation.

It's not true albinism.

but it's associated with morbid, morbid obesity and very poor outcomes from that in childhood.

So it's used in kids, actually.

Interesting.
