Nano-technology combination with Viagra drug

Posted by watertree under Funny

From the United States Albert Einstein College of Medicine of scientists recently announced a new ‘Viagra’. They call it Viagra nanoparticles.

The use of small nano-features, this tablet in the ‘effect site’ repeated friction to allow infiltration of the skin effect.

At present, the drugs are only found in experimental mice. The researchers believe that Viagra can bring external type of side-effects of a smaller, more than the traditional oral tablets Safety (said to be the traditional oral Viagra headaches and facial flushing side effects). At the same time, drugs will significantly shorten the time the entry into force.Digg Link.

The new treatment would likely have fewer side effects than Viagra, which is taken orally and been shown to cause headaches and facial flushing. Photo: GETTY

Scientists in the United States have successfully tested the new technique – which involves tiny objects called nanoparticles – on rats and believe it could also be used to help humans.

Under the therapy, nanoparticles that release the anti-erectile chemical nitric oxide are rubbed on the problem area, and absorbed directly into the skin.

Of the seven rats treated by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, five showed signs of arousal, according to results presented to the American Urological Association (AUA).

The new treatment would likely have fewer side effects than Viagra, which is taken orally and been shown to cause headaches and facial flushing.

Researchers also believe that the nanoparticle therapy could work much more quickly than Pfizer’s market-leading drug, which takes up to an hour to kick in.

“This is a very interesting concept which has potential to impact treatment of many conditions including erectile dysfunction if it can be translated from the animal lab to clinical practice,” said Ira D Sharlip of the AUA.

An estimated 2.3 million men in Britain are thought to suffer from the erectile problems, which can be caused by a variety of conditions.
