Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to pharmaceutical formulations and to medical methods of treatment. More particularly, the present invention concerns the use of a compound which acts as a central nervous system sexual response initiator for the normalization of the timing of sexual response in humans and for the prophylaxis or treatment of long-term damage to genital organ. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Proper sexual functioning in men and women depends upon a combination of steps including 1) establishment of the appropriate anticipatory mental set (“desire”), 2) effective vasocongestive arousal (an erection in the male sufficient for vaginal penetration and, in the female, clitoral erection, vaginal engorgement and lubrication), and 3) orgasm.
