Move over viagra there’s now a new ev drug in town it’s being called a game-changer dr irwin goldstein director at san diego sexual medicine alvarado hospitals here with an in-depth look at what actually out may be a better option for men and women this is very interesting dr. we were chatting about this earlier because we were talking about you know viagra has been
On the mark it’s been a huge success for many years now what’s the difference with this new drug that each has said it was approved on friday yeah so the fda approved the first drug for the condition of male sexual dysfunction since basically the 1998 was when viagra got approved so it’s a whole bunch of years yeah the name is drug stendra ste ndra it’s actually
Made by a company in mountain view california so okay the research for that was actually done here in san diego the publication is in the journal of sexual benefit of course and we are very excited by this there are a few advantages to this the time till the drug peaks in your bloodstream is 30 minutes so it has very good effect at 15 minutes that means this is
Likely the first drug for this condition that we call unda met in other words you sort of take it and get a reaction so it’s faster acting you’re saying cuz i was talking to earlier you said the viagra it takes about an hour right and then so this 1 15 minutes so what is that gonna mean for the market for the ed market out there right now what is this going to
Be viagra well you know some people get frustrated by the relationship of a pill and two what’s a freedom of expression and they don’t want to be inhibited by it so this clearly will not be one of the problems the other benefit to the drug is the side effect issue the medication is not associated with the blue vision then that some of the other medications are
And there’s few headaches so we actually think of this potentially as being used in the other gender how will that be used so we have lots of data that the same drugs that increased blood flow to men when they’re sexually aroused increased blood flow to women when they’re sexually rather than can improve the sexual response so the problem with women is they tend
Not to initiate so having something fast acting is is really good you mentioned viagra was approved in 98 at 14 years what’s taking so long to get something that that’s competitive i guess with viagra white has it taken so long they did research i can’t answer that really but we’re happy that the research and effort in the field of sexual medicine is ongoing and
We’re very excited about it how long before this actually hits the market when our folks will be able to buy it for the yellow pill the yellow pill will be a difficulty in a few months stendra do you see center taking the place of viagras is going to be just an alternative to viagra or is it going to maybe just surpass it because of the time how quickly it works
Those are good questions i think like we have drugs for depression and writers countless drugs for depression and they just make the message more that people who have depressive problems can get help so i think this is just another way to to say hey sexual problems can be helped yeah we always have to ask is there a room for abuse here and who is and who isn’t a
Candidate for this drug well i mean the drug is indicated for people with the condition having a problem with penile erections and you would only want to use it under those conditions basically all right doctor good information as always if you would like to reach dr. gold see for yourself you can san diego sexual medicine alvarado hospital the number 619 265 8865
