Buy Viagra Study

I’ve been using this animated image to make fun of a make-believe Viagra nasal spray, but damn, yesterday I found out that a Viagra nasal spray has been in development for years. I’m the dummy.

Monday, 03 November 2003
NEW YORK (Reuters) - An experimental anti-impotence nasal spray achieved its primary goals in a mid-stage clinical trial, the drug’s maker said on Monday. - urotoday.com

“In a safety and efficacy study of its PT-141 drug for erectile dysfunction, Palatin Technology reported statistically significant improvement in erections across all four dosing levels tested, with no cardiovascular side effects, the tiny Cranbury, New Jersey-based company said.” - urotoday.com

I even wrote about it buy viagra nasal spray and buy viagra for women here.

But wait, is this PT-141 just for erectile dysfunction?

nymag.com says ‘NO”. They say that PT-141 is a true aphrodisiac which works for both men and women.

“…a small white plastic nasal inhaler containing an odorless, colorless synthetic chemical called PT-141. Plain as it is, however, there is one thing that distinguishes PT-141 from the 4,000 years’ worth of recorded medicinal aphrodisiacs that precede it: It actually works.” - nymag.com

I’m getting confused.

Years ago Pfizer was trying to develop a new pill for hypertension. The trials failed but scientists reported that many of the men participating in the trials were experiencing frequent erections; Viagra was born from a mistake or accident.

Now we have this New Jersey firm that was trying to develop a tanning lotion and noticed that men in the trials were getting erections. The switched their goal to a viagra like nasal spray which not only worked, it went further than just giving men erections, it actually increased their sexual desire before the erection AND it worked on women, so it seems that they have stumbled upon the second most adored magical substance in the history of mankind; a true, real, aphrodisiac . (assuming the #1 magical pill is youth, this is a close second).

That is, according to pt141.com .

Now, the drug has a new name: bremelanotide.

“Bremelanotide (PT141) is the generic term for a new medication for use in treating sexual dysfunction in men (erectile dysfunction or impotence) as well as sexual dysfunction in women (sexual arousal disorder). It is a synthetic aphrodisiac. Unlike Viagra and other related medications, it does not act upon the vascular system, but directly increases sexual desire.” - Gelacs.com

Clinical trials are not completed yet, but should be in 2008 and the drug could get FDA approval shortly threreafter.
