The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved over-the-counter marketing for Eroxon, as a first-of-its-kind topical gel for erectile dysfunction.
Men with erectile dysfunction will now have the option of using a topical gel to treat the condition.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved over-the-counter marketing for the product, called Eroxon, as a first-of-its-kind medical product. The British pharmaceutical firm Futura Medical makes the gel.
"FDA set a very high standard in evaluating the effectiveness and safety of De Novo Medical Devices. I am delighted that we met this standard," Futura CEO James Barder said in a news release on Monday.
About 30 million American men are affected by erectile dysfunction, where they're not able to get or keep an erection for sexual activity.
This new gel will be sold in a single-dose tube, CNN reported.
It should be applied to the head of the penis before sex. Users may be able to become erect within 10 minutes and maintain that for long enough to have sex in about 65% of those who use it, according to the company.
The product is already sold in Belgium and the United Kingdom, where it costs the equivalent of $31.22 in U.S. dollars for a four-pack, CNN reported.
"We don't have specific pricing details yet, as the pricing will ultimately be determined by the partner who launches Eroxon in the U.S.," a company spokesman told CNN.
The timeline for when the product will be in the United States is unknown but it could be 2025, CNN reported.
Diseases such as Type 2 diabetes can contribute to erectile dysfunction, as can certain medications, anxiety disorders, smoking, drinking excessive alcohol, being overweight or using illegal drugs.

Most Republicans in Congress could use some.
So it’s a gel?
Apply liberally and rub vigorously?
Seems sorta old school....
“FDA set a very high standard in evaluating the effectiveness and safety of De Novo Medical Devices.”
If the “very high standard” was as high as the COVID “vaccines” standard, then we are in big trouble.
“ Most Republicans in Congress could use some.”

I doubt that this new med can cure a lack of testicles.
I guess you’d have to wear gloves to apply it, otherwise...uh, nevermind.
Small print....you’ll go blind
My guess is that more women will use this stuff than men, in hopes of forcing an improvement to their experience.
“Be right out, hubby, just freshening up...”
Directions say “must be applied by 18 year old girl”
WOW, the biggest LIE of the century. “FDA set a very high standard in evaluating the effectiveness and safety of..............”
Where the F*ck was the FDA in regards to Covid Vax?????
Crickets????????
Maybe since this “product” will be used/abused by PERVERTS, FDA needed “higher” standards than those for the health of common people.
A Steve Martin/SNL classic!
In the old days, the cure for ED was nude girly magazines, and in today’s world, it’s porn videos. How’s the gel going to compete, especially when internet porn is a lot cheaper?
Generic Name: Eroxon
One likely Brand Name: E-Rox-Ov
“Eroxon?” Interesting name for a erectile disfunction medication.
