Anti-impotence wafer works faster than Viagra?
October 5th, 2010 - 3:38 pm ICT by IANSLondon, Oct 5 (IANS) An anti-impotence wafer, similar to breath freshner strips, seems to work faster than Viagra, reports suggest.
Prior to Viagra’s development, the only options were to inject drugs straight into the penis, or use a pump that manually increased blood supply to the organ. But neither was very popular.
The new treatment contains the same active ingredients as other anti-impotence pills, but in smaller molecules. These are packed into a tiny soluble strip that sits on the tongue and disappears within seconds, reports the Daily Mail.
Further trials show the wafer works 30 percent more quickly than Viagra, with most men responding in under 30 minutes, compared with 40-60 minutes for other drugs.
This is because the tissues lining the mouth are packed with hundreds of tiny blood vessels near the surface of the cheek and under the tongue, providing a quick access route into the bloodstream.
Now the manufacturer, Canadian firm IntelGenx, is planning bigger trials to confirm the initial findings and the melting wafer could be available within the next two to three years.
Half the men over 40 years suffer from erectile disorders caused by diabetes, hormonal problems, stress and depression, according to estimates.
