Inhalable Viagra: An Introduction

Inhalable Viagra is the drug VR004 manufactured by Vectura, a British Biotechnology company and is available in powder form. As this drug is administered by a specific aspirin inhaler and has also been proved clinically successful in treating erectile dysfunction, it is also known as inhalable Viagra. In clinical experiments, 83 per cent people from among the 600 tested with VR004 were found to experience increased sexual performance.

Inhalable Viagra: How Is It Different From Pfizer's Viagra?

The inhalable Viagra meant to treat erectile dysfunction is administered to the system through the usage of a specific 'Aspirair' inhaler unlike the oral pill Viagra manufactured by Pfizer Pharmaceuticals. In case of the Pfizer manufactured Viagra, the prescribed dosage is be taken with a glass of water once a day and after Viagra is administered to the system, it starts functioning by inhibiting the PDE5 enzyme and accelerating the effects of NO. This further leads to the smooth flow of blood to the penis and as a consequence, the man triggers off erections required for satisfactory sex. Regarding the efficacy of Pfizer's Viagra, it is known that the drug starts to function within 30 minutes and remains in the system for 4 hours.

The functioning process of inhalable Viagra is a bit different. As soon as VR004 is administered to the system, it is absorbed by the lungs and starts to show effects within 60 seconds.

Inhalable Viagra as well as the Viagra manufactured by Pfizer are clinically successful drugs. Alan Riley, the principal researcher of the Phase II study of VR004 makes it clear that the clinical success derived from the study trials conducted on VR004 were demonstrated in two separate incidents. And when it comes to the success rate showed by the Pfizer manufactured Viagra in curing erectile dysfunction, the available data points out that till now, the drug has been prescribed by 280,000 U.S. physicians for more than 6.1 million men afflicted with erectile dysfunction. It is also known that almost all the patients who have been prescribed Viagra are considerably relieved from erectile dysfunction on account of the drug.

Which is better: Pfizer's Viagra or Inhalable Viagra?

At present, the inhalable Viagra is in the experimental stage only and as such it cannot be compared to Pfizer's Viagra, which has been ruling the erectile dysfunction drug market since the approval of the drug by FDA in 1998. Viagra manufactured by Pfizer Incl. is a far better erectile dysfunction drug in comparison to any other anti-impotency medicines like Cialis and Levitra. However the success of Inhalable Viagra can only be judged once the medicine is officially launched but it is being expected as a better version of present Viagra as it gives better and faster results.
