Plethora's spray delays orgasm by six times longer

7 April 2009

Men with premature ejaculation who used the UK biotechnology firm Plethora Solutions' PSD502 (lidocaine/prilocaine) topical spray five  minutes before intercourse were able to delay their orgasm six times  longer than normal, according to a study published in the journal BJU  International.

300 men took part in the Phase III, multicenter, double-blind,  randomized study. The time from penetration to ejaculation increased  from an average of 0.6 minutes to 3.8 minutes in the medicated group and  to just 1.1 minutes in the placebo cohort.

90% of the men in the treatment arm were able to delay ejaculation for  more than one minute, compared with 54% in the placebo group. 74% of men  using PSD502 managed to last more than two minutes, compared with 22%  for placebo.
