Erectile dysfunction (ED) is characterized by the persistent inability to achieve and maintain an erection that allows maintaining a satisfactory sexual relationship and is a problem that affects the psychological health and emotional well-being of the affected person and has a significant impact on its quality. life and that of your partner.
Eroxon is a topically administered gel to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) that promises to achieve an erection in as little as 10 minutes, a significant improvement over oral options like Viagra, which require 30 to 60 minutes. to work. This drug has been developed by the United Kingdom pharmaceutical company Futura Medical and is dispensed without a medical prescription in Great Britain, the United States, the European Union and several Asian countries, and has now arrived in Spain, where it is also available. now available without a prescription.
In June 2023, the American Medicines Agency (FDA) authorized the use of this new method to combat erectile dysfunction. However, despite the optimism generated after the FDA approval, the effectiveness of Eroxon is still under review, pending more rigorous clinical studies and does not yet have the complete support of data from complete clinical trials, so it is not known. The real effectiveness of Eroxon in helping to start and maintain an erection is certain, said Joshua Halpern, a urologist at Northwestern Medicine, in statements reported by The New York Times.
How Eroxon works to combat erectile dysfunction
Eroxon works through a mechanism that produces cooling and warming sensations, which stimulate the nerves of the penis and facilitate the expansion of blood vessels, thus improving blood flow to the erectile tissue. This thermal effect activates the neurotransmitters that generate nitric oxide, crucial for erections by relaxing the muscles of the erectile tissue and allowing adequate blood flow. In clinical trials it has been observed that Eroxon manages to induce erections in 60% of cases within 10 minutes of being applied to the tip of the penis.
The origin of Eroxon is also interesting, as it was discovered accidentally, just like Viagra. Initially, Futura Medical researchers were studying gels for the treatment of angina and discovered by chance their effect on erectile dysfunction. This accidental discovery led to the creation of Eroxon as an innovative alternative in the field.
In head-to-head studies of about 100 men, Eroxon was tested against tadalafil, the active ingredient in Cialis, another erectile dysfunction drug. Although Eroxon was somewhat less effective than tadalafil, it stood out for its speed of action, since the effects appeared much sooner than the 30 minutes it usually takes for tadalafil to take effect. Additionally, Eroxon had fewer side effects, such as headaches and local burning, compared to those who experienced symptoms while using tadalafil.
In clinical studies it has been observed that Eroxon manages to induce erections in 60% of cases within 10 minutes of being applied to the tip of the penis.
Regarding its presentation and price, each box of Eroxon contains four tubes, each of which corresponds to an application and as for its price, Futura Medical has indicated that they expect it to have an average price of about 29. 50 euros, although they do not guarantee that this will be the case in all cases.
Eroxon represents a step forward in the management of erectile dysfunction, providing a quick alternative to more traditional treatments that is compatible with the use of lubricants and other drugs. Despite this, it is vital that patients consult with their doctors before using any new treatment and understand that erectile dysfunction is a complex and multifactorial condition that involves both physical and psychological elements and varies by individual, and that Eroxon does not offer a definitive solution.
