The cream is made from nanoparticles that encapsulates tiny amounts of ED drugs, including nitric oxide. It only affects the area where it is applied unlike the orally-taken ED drugs which affect the whole body and causes side-effects like headache and vision problems.

The creams’ effect is also faster, only in a few minutes, than existing ED medications, which takes about 30 minutes to take effect.

The researchers have successfully tested the cream on laboratory rats and the results of their study have been published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. Their next step is human trials of the cream.

The researchers, however, said it may take 10 years before the cream is approved by regulators for public consumption.

Researchers with the University of Milan released details of a study Monday. It indicates the old Chinese remedy — also known as epimedium — could perform the same magic as Viagra, without its undesirable side effects. They say the herb targets the same enzyme as the V-pill, only in a more direct (yes, DIRect) fashion. That could cut down on the headaches, stomachaches, and other potential problems that typically come along with Viagra use.

“Horny goat weed” has been used as an aphrodisiac for decades. This is the first time, the scientists say, it’s being expanded for — well, expansion-related purposes. The treatment is hard-ly ready for mass recommendation, though. More animal-based and human-specific tests are in the works to make sure the stuff really works as believed.
