Iochimbin hydrochloride was given to 153 men with erectile dysfunction. The results are available for 140 of them. The ability of iochimbin in a single dose of 5-10 mg to enhance arterial blood inflow to cavernous bodies of the penis was confirmed by dynamic angiopenoscintigraphy and Doppler ultrasonography. Iochimbin hydrochloride in a mean daily dose of 15-20 mg proved effective in erectile dysfunction--38 to 84% responders depending on the type of erectile dysfunction. Occasional side effects can be relieved by reducing the drug dose.
