Abstract

In this work the Authors speak about topical treatment in diagnosis and therapy of erectile deficit with prostaglandin, papaverine, phentolamine, V.I.P., nitroglycerine, minoxidil and others. These drugs must have some chemicophysical trait to be adsorbed by the skin. The concepts of microangiotettonic, microangiopathy, microangiokinesis are very important in erectile dysfunctions. For the future there are perspectives to use microvasculokinesic and antiperossidasic complex, alone or in association with intravenous pharmacotherapy.
