Erectile Dysfunction and Infertility Drugs for Men
The FDA (as of this time) has only approved three oral medications for erectile dysfunction (ED), a malady that affects more and more men each year. They all work the same way – the flow of blood to the penis is increased, so that when the penis becomes sexually stimulated, an erection will result. No blood flow?

Penile oxygenation decreased by as much as 97% during cycling, a decline that was significantly reduced when men took sildenafil citrate (Viagra), 50 mg, an hour before cycling. The type of bicycle seat used and the rider’s position during cycling also affected oxygenation to the penis.
Oral drug effectively improves premature ejaculation
Investigational agent increases ejaculatory latency time by 1.5 minutes over baseline
The serotonin transport inhibitor dapoxetine appeals to be a well-tolerated and effective agent for the treatment of premature ejaculation, according to the results of a phase II study presented at the International Society for Sexual and Impotence Research world congress.
Researchers say the drug, which is still investigational, may offer a safer, more tolerable altemative to the Dr. Hellstrom selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) currently used to treat this common sexual condition.
