Compositions for Enhancing Sexual Responsiveness

Abstract

A topical composition which enhances sexual responsiveness of a mammal is disclosed. An effective dosage of a peripheral vasodilator, an absorption enhancer and, optionally, a vasoconstrictor and an alpha receptor blocker are combined with a pharmaceutically-acceptable topical vehicle to produce the composition. The compositions are applied topically to the penis or labia majora and minora pudenda to enhance erection or vasocongestion.

1 . A composition formulated for topical administration to a mammal consisting of: 
 a vasodilating composition consisting of methyl nicotinate and methyl salicyclate, and    a water-based topical vehicle comprising water, aloe, green tea extract, a vegetable oil and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of stearic acid, sodium bicarbonate, cetyl alcohol, methyl paraben and propyl paraben.    
   
   
       2 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the composition contains about 0.1% methyl nicotinate.  
   
   
       3 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the vegetable oil is selected from the group consisting of soybean oil and sunflower oil.  
   
   
       4 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the water-based topical vehicle further comprises at least one of ascorbyl palmitate and tocopherol acetate.  
   
   
       5 . A composition formulated for topical administration to a mammal consisting of: 
 a vasodilating composition consisting of L-arginine, methyl nicotinate and methyl salicyclate; and,    a water-based topical vehicle comprising water, aloe, green tea extract, a vegetable oil and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of stearic acid, sodium bicarbonate, cetyl alcohol, methyl paraben and propyl paraben.    
   
   
       6 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the composition contains about 0.1% methyl nicotinate.  
   
   
       7 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the vegetable oil is selected from the group consisting of soybean oil and sunflower oil.  
   
   
       8 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the water-based topical vehicle further comprises at least one of ascorbyl palmitate and tocopherol acetate.  
   
   
       9 . A condom having an internal surface coating comprising a topical composition consisting of: 
 a vasodilating composition consisting of methyl nicotinate and methyl salicyclate, and    a water-based topical vehicle comprising water, aloe, green tea extract, a vegetable oil and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of stearic acid, sodium bicarbonate, cetyl alcohol, methyl paraben and propyl paraben.    
   
   
       10 . A method of enhancing sexual response in a mammal comprising topically applying a composition consisting of: 
 a vasodilating composition consisting of methyl nicotinate and methyl salicyclate, and    a water-based topical vehicle comprising water, aloe, green tea extract, a vegetable oil and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of stearic acid, sodium bicarbonate, cetyl alcohol, methyl paraben and propyl paraben,    to the genitalia of a mammal in need of such treatment.
