Melting wafer better than Viagra


Suffering from impotence? You may now try out a "melting wafer" as an alternative of consuming an anti-erectile dysfunction pill, say scientists, who declare it works quicker than the conservative drugs.

The wafer which is alike to breathe freshener strips, melts on the tongue, say the scientists. This treatment contains the same active ingredients as other anti-impotence pills, but in minor molecules; these are packed into a tiny soluble strip that sits on the tongue and disappears within seconds.

In a pilot study, where the wafer was compared with a conventional impotence pill, the wafer released parallel amount of medicine in the bloodstream. Additional trials prove the wafer works 30% faster than the popular anti-impotence pill Viagra, with most men respond in less than 30 minutes, compared with 40-60 minutes for other drugs.

This is because the tissues lining the mouth are packed with hundreds of tiny blood vessels which lie near the surface of the cheek and under the tongue — these supply a fast access way into the bloodstream. Now the manufacturer, Canadian firm Intel-Genx , is setting up better trials to verify the early findings and the melting wafer might be available within the next 2 to 3 years, the report said. The similar technology might also be used to expand fast-acting 'wafers' for pain relief , high blood pressure and depression.
