Intravaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT), index of premature ejaculation (IPE) ejaculatory control, and IPE sexual satisfaction domains, as well as IPE distress, all showed positive results compared to baseline and placebo. Fortacin increased IELT, ejaculatory control and satisfaction while reducing distress.
Fortacin is a formulation of metered dose aerosol of lidocaine and prilocaine. It provides topical anaesthesia to the glans penis with lidocaine and prilocaine blocking the transmission of nerve impulses resulting in sensitivity reduction.
Premature ejaculation is a common occurrence in men. There are two types: primary, a long-term occurrence; and secondary, where PE was recently developed. PE is a complex condition with psychological, biological and social factors all at play. According to the American Urological Association, approximately one in five men between the ages of 18 and 59 report incidences of PE.
