New Drug Promises Erections In Half The Time

It’s called Stendra, and yes, it sounds a bit like “stand up.” The marketing team says it does what Viagra, Cialis and Levitra do, but in half the time, 15 minutes for those who are counting, and we know you are. The FDA approved the new erectile dysfunction fixer last week, with the caution that the most common side effects include headache, redness of the face and other areas (flushing), nasal congestion, common cold-like symptoms (nasopharyngitis), and back pain. In rare cases, patients taking Stendra and other PDE5 inhibitors may get an erection lasting four hours or longer that will not go away (priapism). If this happens, patients should seek immediate medical care.
