If it is as effective as injections it would be a complete gamechanger....I just dont know though.
A quote from the article in this thread:
"How does it compare with PD-5 inhibitors? And in fact, another product that's sold in Europe called Vitaros that some of you may have heard of. We've chosen Cialis for the comparison here. We didn't choose Viagra because it's a very old data set. And in fact, the measures aren't exactly equivalent because it was in the early stages of the development of these compounds. Cialis in their pivotal studies used exactly the same endpoints as us, IIEF EF, SEP2 and SEP3. So it's relevant to do the comparison here. And we believe that Cialis in this data set used observed means, not least squared means. So we've used the -- that data set for comparison rather than the least squared mean data set. And you can see that, just at a glance, actually, that DermaSys on IIEF EF is broadly comparable to 5 milligram Cialis, maybe slightly less than 10 mg, a little bit behind 20 mg Cialis."
I understand from this that this topical gel "may" be comparable to just 5mgs of Cialis, which is a low dose of Cialis. This amount as an "on demand" use only works for males with very mild cases of ED and who are generally quite young. The 5mg dose taken everyday of Cialis is a completely different matter as it builds in the system due to the long half life of Tadalafil.
If he says it is comparable to 5mgs of Cialis, then says just a little bit behind 20mgs of Cialis, what does this mean?? There is a big difference between a 5mg dose of Cialis and a 20mg dose of Cialis!
Why didn't they compare this to Viagra? I would think most likely because Viagra is generally stronger that Cialis for a specific short period of on demand use.
Given this, It will not be any where near as effective as intra-cavernosal injections.
