01/14/99 Researchers Claim Viagra `Solution' Researchers Claim Viagra `Solution' LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) _ For men who just can't wait an hour for their Viagra to take effect, two researchers think they have the answer: a nasal spray delivery system. Lewis Dittert and Anwar Hussein of the University of Kentucky's College of Pharmacy say they've created the first soluble version of Viagra's active ingredient, sildenafil. They say the spray could allow Viagra to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream, offering a quicker hit _ 10 to 15 minutes _ with a lower dose than the anti-impotency pills currently on the market. Those pills, whose active ingredient is not very water-soluble, can take up to an hour or more to take effect. -- Judith Richards, London, Ontario, Canada <[log in to unmask]> ^^^ \ / \ | / Today’s Research \\ | // ...Tomorrow’s Cure \ | / \|/ ```````
