New Viagra Alternative Controls Your Brain, Not Your Penis
4 10 2007New Viagra Alternative Controls Your Brain, Not Your Penis
Rexahn Pharmaceuticals Inc. has announced a new sexual dysfunction drug called Zoraxel. It’s not in the market yet, but it’s moving in that direction with a mid stage clinical trial of 200 patients this year.
Zoraxel will be stiff competition for Pfizer’s Viagra peter pill. Viagra works by opening up the blood vessels in the penis, allowing a hard, stiff rod for a few hours, but does nothing to actually help a man get emotionally aroused in the first place.
Rexahn’s Zoraxel works on the man’s emotions and sex urges in the brain by activating the neurotransmitters serotonin or dopamine; sounds like the perfect mood altering drug is here. Imagine spiking the punch at a nudist colony or grandma’s 70th birthday.
From an article by Tamar Nordenberg which is located on the Food and Drug Administration’s site:
“According to the Food and Drug Administration, the reputed sexual effects of so-called aphrodisiacs are based in folklore, not fact. In 1989, the agency declared that there is no scientific proof that any over-the-counter aphrodisiacs work to treat sexual dysfunction”
It seems that is about to change.
