Olympus Max combines oxytocin and bremelanotide to support sexual wellness in men and women. Oxytocin is a natural hormone that plays a role in bonding, intimacy, and sexual arousal. When taken under the tongue, it can help activate areas of the brain linked to attraction and sexual interest. This may help address feelings of connection and make it easier for the body to respond during sexual activity. Bremelanotide works mainly in the brain. It activates melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) that help promote sexual desire and arousal. By activating these receptors, it may help patients reach sexual excitement and support their overall experience. Together, these ingredients work on the brain through different mechanism to help support a healthy sexual response.^1-5

Q: How long does it take to see a response? 

A: Typical onset has been observed within 30 minutes after taking. If no effect is seen, you may need to increase your dose up to a max of 1 full tablet per 24 hours as recommended by your prescriber.

Q: Can I use this with other medications? 

A: It may be used with other medications. Always consult your prescribing healthcare provider before combining with other medications.

Q: What if I miss a dose? 

A: This medication is designed to be used as needed 30 minutes prior to sexual activity. There is no need to take it as a daily dosing unless directed by your prescriber.

Q: Why does bremelanotide cause hyperpigmentation in patients using it for sexual dysfunction?

A:Bremelanotide activates melanocortin receptors that are located in the brain and melanocytes located in the skin. The activation of melanocytes in the skin will increase melanin production and cause darkened patches of skin or gums in some patients. This hyperpigmentation is typically seen on the face, and gums the risk is higher in people with darker skin tones. In some cases, the discoloration may not fully resolve after stopping the medication, so patients are advised to stay within labeled dosing limits and to contact their clinician if they notice new or worsening dark spots while using bremelanotide.⁸
