Preliminary report of a new concept in the pharmacological treatment of erectile impotence using an implantable drug delivery system.
A new approach in the treatment of erectile impotence by means of pharmacologically induced erections using a totally implantable drug delivery system is described. This method allows administration of the appropriate drug at a site remote from the penis, thereby overcoming the pain and discomfort associated with direct intrapenile injection.
