Topiglan came out in 1996 but is not commonly known. It is a gel that you apply to the penis; it takes effect in about 5 to 20 minutes, increasing blood flow and enlarging blood vessels in the penis. It is easily absorbed by the skin beyond the surface layer, allowing maximum effectiveness. Its benefits are similar to ED pills, but it lasts about an hour.

It is made by MacroChem Corporation; they report that studies showed it was not harmful to females coming in contact with the substance, and that it enabled erections in 75% of men using it who were previously not getting erections with other ED treatments.

The use of a topical medicine is a better choice for men who cannot take ED pills-men with diabetes, atherosclerosis, vascular and heart disease.

Topiglan works much the same as pills, but it only dilates blood vessels in the penis. ED pills can dilate blood vessels or arteries of the brain and heart. This dilation is dangerous for men with vascular disease and other conditions. ED Pills can also interact dangerously with nitrates; Topiglan may be a good alternative for men who take nitrate drugs for heart disease or other conditions, because Topiglan does not interact with nitrate drugs in the body system wide.

Consider all the options when deciding on ED treatments. Don’t limit yourself just to what everyone else uses. A topical drug may be your best solution. Go over your medical conditions with your doctor and then decide what is best for you.
