Erectile Dysfunction ED Article 2018 T Nation- Get Harder Down There

Pharma TRT

The article linked below discusses the off-label use of a common angina medication to treat ED. As a direct topical Nitric Oxide source, the medication differs in mechanism from PDE5s.

If PDE5s do nothing for you, maybe this is worth a trial.

P.S per @lordgains comment below- Do not use this or any Nitric Oxide medicine if taking PDE5s (Viagra, Cialis etc)

Wonder if there are fewer side effects

Would imagine so, thereā€™s quite a bit research out there of this actually working really well. It seems under discussedā€¦ā€¦ probably cheaper than Viagra too. Maybe no coincidenceā€¦. big pharma would be out of pocket to promote this.

Everyone please be careful with kegels, so tired of anyone and everyone recommending them. They can possibly make things even worse.

Few downfalls to topical nitro:

  1. Itā€™s quick on, but also quick off. It will dilate vessels much faster than oral PDE5s, but it doesnā€™t last as long.
  2. Depending on the severity of your ED, itā€™s probably not enough by itself to get and sustain a penetrative erection. Even if you get there, it may not be for too long.
  3. Itā€™s topical. That means it can be transferred to your partner.
  4. Itā€™s still going to have a lot of the same side effects as the pills: drop in BP, increase in HR, dizziness, blurry vision.
  5. A pill is going to have a tightly control dose. That means itā€™s easier to take safely and accurately.

Letā€™s be honest: how many guys are gonna get the gel and think ā€œwell, if a single pea sized amount is goodā€¦that means a grape sized amount will be over twice as good! I can last forever!ā€. So they slather nitro on their wieners like itā€™s mustard on a Bratwurst at Oktoberfest, then pass out 5 minutes later. Nitro gel administered for chest pain comes with a little paper that helps you apply a ā€œmeasuredā€ dose, but even that is a guesstimate depending on how thick and consistent your squeeze on the tube is. Also, if a dude puts it on, but forgets to wash his hands, suddenly heā€™s wiping nitro gel everywhere.

Quite a few reasons it wasnā€™t heavily pursued by big pharma. Believe me: if it was effective, they still wouldā€™ve found a way to make it into a patented proprietary blend that was trademarked, and still cost as much, if not more, than the pills. A big hurdle for ED drugs: Medicare part D denies claims/coverage for ED treatments. Considered a ā€œlifestyle issueā€ not medically necessary. That means many insurance companies follow suit with Uncle Sam. So often times guys are left paying out of pocket for drugs/treatments. While that CAN be lucrative due to how common ED is, itā€™s not worth pursuing for big pharma. They want a patented highly effective name brand product that prescribers can rubber stamp through insurance claims. Thatā€™s the best use of their resources and development. This application of nitro, just isnā€™t effective enough to pursue.

Side note: if you find grandpaā€™s Nitro in the medicine cabinet, donā€™t rub it in your donger: itā€™s 10x more potent than the form used in the studies.

Donā€™t ever combine systemic nitro with PDE5 inhibitors.

Just a reminder so no one kills himself accidentally.

Probably long enoughšŸ˜‚

All medicines have pros and cons. This seems a reasonable product for guys to try if it suits them. Dose can be controlled well enough by gauging the length of the cream dispensed from the tube. As you mention.

Very unlikely.
