Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Intracavernous injection of moxisylyte at 10, 20 or 30 mg can induce an erection adequate for intercourse in most of the patients
Route of Administration: Other
In Vitro Use Guide
Moxisylyte hydrochloride on isolated human penile corpus cavernosum tissue was investigated and compared with other alpha-adrenergic antagonists. Moxisylyte produced a concentration-dependent relaxation of a norepinephrine-induced (1 x 10(-5) M) contraction of the corpus cavernosum tissue. Pretreatment with 1 x 10(-6) M doses of moxisylyte reduced competitively the norepinephrine-induced contraction
