N<\/span>anotechnology is likely to play an increasingly important role in the future of erectile dysfunction therapy. This branch of science allows tiny particles of erection-friendly medication to be attached to more targeted methods of delivery.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Merriam-Webster defines nanotechnology as \u201cthe science of manipulating materials on an atomic or molecular scale.\u201d<\/p>\n

As you can see from this definition, nanoparticles are very tiny and invisible to the naked eye.<\/p>\n

However, they may well hold the key to new and improved delivery methods for erectile dysfunction drugs that could make those medications safer and more widely effective than anything currently available.<\/p>\n

Almost all of the research about nanotechnology\u2019s potential in the treatment of ED has been confined to animal models of impotence. However, the results thus far have been very promising. These early tests offer hope that nanoparticles of erection-supportive medications could be applied topically to the penis to speed the onset of action and avoid the systemic side effects associated with oral medications.<\/p>\n

Recent Animal Study Raises Hopes<\/h3>\n

Researchers from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine explored the effects of topically applied nanoparticles of sildenafil citrate — the active ingredient in Viagra — on erectile function in aging rats. Their findings were published in the February 2018 issue of The Journal of Sexual Medicine and also presented at the International Society for Sexual Medicine\u2019s World Meeting on Sexual Medicine<\/a>, February 28-March 3, 2018.<\/p>\n

The researchers observed significant improvements in erectile function in 80 percent of the animals treated. They expressed the hope that further study will lead to human trials and eventually to the development of a treatment that uses a less active ingredient, works more rapidly, and causes fewer adverse side effects.<\/p>\n
