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.
