Using your nose to overcome impotence

Have you been sniffing around the market trying to work out which impotence treatment is best? Well put your nose onto the scent of what is happening on the research scene at the moment, because scientists are convinced that they have found something that will perk you up when you are feeling flaccid.

The product we are talking about is nasal Viagra, a brand new form of impotence treatment, that you take in through your nose, rather than by sticking the conventional ‘little blue pill’ into your mouth. It is currently going through trials in England, where researchers are determining exactly how well it works. So far it seems to be extremely successful, producing erections in men much more quickly than the tablet forms of the drug does.

The reason behind this speedy action is that chemicals taken in through your nose enter your blood stream at a much faster rate. The scientists found that it only took eight minutes for the spray to kick in and take effect.

In comparison, with normal Viagra or Levitra, it is recommended that you take them around one hour before having sex, so this new invention could make a significant difference to men who want something that they can take just before they have sex. Cialis, on the other hand, can take effect in just fifteen minutes.

With the new spray, scientists believe that – if it were found that doubling the dose is safe – men could be able to achieve an erection in just four minutes.

Women still waiting

Time will tell whether this erection spray is actually released. If it is, it will join a wealth of erectile dysfunction treatments that are now available to help men with their libido problems. As for women who are struggling to maintain their sex drives, there is little help available from the drug industry at the moment – although ‘female Viagra’ could be just around the corner.
