Erectile Dysfunction

Petros begins enrollment in AI integrated Human Factors Study to optimize self-screening, continuing its efforts to make STENDRA (avanafil) the first erectile dysfunction medication to achieve OTC Status (Please see important safety information below) NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / March 19, 2024 / Petros Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:PTPI), a company focused on expanding consumer access to medication through over-the- counter (OTC) drug development programs, announces it has successfully launched its artificial intelligence (AI) tool developed as a result of its collaboration with a multi-billion-dollar software developer. The tool is being integrated into the Company's web app being used for patient self-screening, which it is testing in its recently launched Human Factors study. Fady Boctor, Petros' President and Chief Commercial Officer, commented, "The utilization of AI is a logical progression as we aim to optimize the safe administration of STENDRA (avanafil), in development for OTC availability. In addition, based on our recent interaction with the FDA on our technology approach, we believe the AI component directly addresses requests made by the Agency in order to optimize selection. Ultimately, we believe the AI will help us to gather information to ensure that the patient is appropriate to receive the drug. Importantly, we continue to believe that we have sufficient funding to achieve our development goals as well as significant near-term clinical milestones for STENDRA." The Human Factors Study, which incorporates the AI tool, is designed to assess whether the web tool developed by the company can be used safely and effectively by its intended users. Subjects will be asked to perform critical tasks with the web app without any guidance from the study staff. The study is based on applicable FDA guidance for human factors studies. The outcomes from this study will further contribute to discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the need for the Additional Condition of Nonprescription Use (ACNU) with regard to the web app and the Company's endeavors to develop STENDRA into the first erectile dysfunction medication to go OTC. About Petros Pharmaceuticals Petros Pharmaceuticals is committed to the goal of becoming a leading innovator in the emerging self-care market driving expanded access to key prescription pharmaceuticals as Over-the-Counter treatment options. Currently, Petros is pursuing increased access for its flagship prescription ED therapy, STENDRA, via potential OTC designation. If ultimately approved by the FDA for OTC access, STENDRA may be the first in its class to achieve this marketing status, also establishing company know how as a proven platform for other prospective prescription therapeutics. About the OTC Pathway The process of switching a prescription medication to over the counter (OTC) first involves the design of a Drug Facts Label (DFL) that is well understood by potential consumers. Then data must show that consumers can make an appropriate decision to use or not to use the product based only upon the information on the DFL and their personal medical history. Then consumers must demonstrate that they can properly use the product based upon the information on the DFL. To accomplish these things, the FDA ordinarily requires a consumer tested OTC DFL. This testing includes conduct of iterative Label Comprehension Studies (LCS) in the general population, Self-Selection Studies (SSS) in a population interested in using the product and in specific populations who may be harmed if they use the product, and usually one Actual Use Trial (AUT) demonstrating safe and appropriate use by consumers in a simulated OTC setting. The regulations that FDA is currently finalizing introduced Additional Conditions for Nonprescription Use (ACNU) criteria that enable correct self-selection by consumers and may expand OTC access to medications that formerly could only be available by prescription. An ACNU may be an innovative computerized tool, or the additional conditions may use other approaches that support the switch process. Important Safety Information about STENDRA® (avanafil) STENDRA® (avanafil), originally launched by Auxilium Pharmaceuticals prior to that company's sale to Endo Pharmaceuticals, is an oral phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitor for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. STENDRA is not for use in women or children. It is not known if STENDRA is safe and effective in women or children under 18 years of age. (A 100-mg and 200-mg tablet can be taken as early as ~15 minutes before sexual activity. STENDRA only works with sexual stimulation and should not be taken more than once a day. STENDRA can be taken with or without food; do not drink too much alcohol when taking STENDRA (for example, more than 3 glasses of wine or 3 shots of whiskey) as it can increase chances of side effects. Of people enrolled in clinical trials, 1.4%, 2.0%, and 2.0%, respectively, stopped taking STENDRA (50 mg, 100 mg, or 200 mg) due to side effects compared to 1.7% on placebo. STENDRA® was designed and developed expressly for erectile dysfunction. STENDRA is contraindicated with any form of organic nitrates, in patients with known hypersensitivity to any component of the tablet, and in patients who are using a guanylate cyclase stimulator. Patients should not use STENDRA if sexual activity is inadvisable due to cardiovascular status or any other reason. Before taking STENDRA tell your doctor if you have had any kind of heart issues including heart attack, heart failure, angina and irregular heartbeat or have elevated or low blood pressure. Use of STENDRA with alpha-blockers, other antihypertensives, or substantial amounts of alcohol (greater than 3 units) may lead to hypotension. Patients should seek emergency treatment if an erection lasts greater than 4 hours. Patients should stop STENDRA and seek medical care if a sudden loss of vision occurs in one or both eyes, which could be a sign of Non Arteritic Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION). Discuss with patients the increased risk of NAION in patients with a history of NAION. Patients should stop taking STENDRA and seek prompt medical attention in the event of sudden decrease or loss of hearing. STENDRA can potentiate the hypotensive effect of nitrates, alpha blockers, antihypertensives, and alcohol. CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, ritonavir, erythromycin) increase STENDRA exposure. For patients taking concomitant strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (including ketoconazole, ritonavir, atazanavir, clarithromycin, indinavir, itraconazole, nefazodone, nelfinavir, saquinavir and telithromycin), do not use STENDRA. Combination with Other PDE5 Inhibitors or Erectile Dysfunction Therapies is not recommended. The safety of STENDRA is unknown in patients with bleeding disorders and patients with active peptic ulceration. The use of STENDRA offers no protection against sexually transmitted diseases including HIV. Consider counseling patients on protective measures for sexually transmitted diseases. The most common adverse reactions reported with use of STENDRA include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, nasopharyngitis, and back pain. For more information about STENDRA, call 844-458-4887. If you would like to report an adverse event or product complaint, please contact us at 844-458-4887.

The Dallas Based, Direct-to-Consumer Telemedicine Company Brings the FDA-Approved Oral Testosterone Replacement Therapy Treatment to the Telehealth Market Dallas, Texas, March 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mangoceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: MGRX) (“MangoRx” or the “Company”), a company focused on developing, marketing, and selling a variety of men’s health and wellness products via a secure telemedicine platform, including its uniquely formulated hair growth product (‘GROW’) and erectile dysfunction (ED) drug (‘Mango’), is excited to announce the highly anticipated release and availability of ‘PRIME’ by MangoRx, Powered by Kyzatrex®️ (“PRIME”) bringing the FDA-approved oral testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) treatment to consumers across the U.S via its proprietary telehealth platform. MangoRx intends to market PRIME to those male individuals who are both a) currently on some alternative form of TRT treatment, such as topicals and other invasive injectables or pellets, and b) those experiencing common symptoms associated with low testosterone (Low-T) and seeking an immediate TRT treatment. Those interested in speaking with a medical provider to obtain a prescription for PRIME can do so by visiting MangoRx’s website at https://www.mangorx.com/app/prime. According to a study published in the National Library of Medicine which examined prescribing patterns in the United States, approximately 2.9% of men aged greater than 40 years old and 3.75% of men aged greater than 60 years old have been prescribed with some form of TRT. With the US population of men at approximately 166.7 million, this places the current market at roughly 5,000,000 men that are on some form of TRT therapy. Furthermore, the introduction of oral testosterone therapy presents a compelling opportunity to tap into a significant addressable market. By offering an alternative to injectable TRT, oral therapy addresses the concerns of individuals who are hesitant or unwilling to undergo injections. This segment of the market, encompassing those with needle aversion, represents a substantial portion of the population and presents a compelling case for the viability and potential growth of oral testosterone therapy.Jacob Cohen, MangoRx’s Co-Founder and CEO, noted, “We firmly believe that between the convenience and non-invasive factor of taking PRIME orally and the reduced side effects that come with it as opposed to traditional injectable TRT, MangoRx is very well positioned to grab a significant piece of the current market share for men experiencing Low-T. As we believe PRIME’s oral delivery TRT treatment is a true game-changer, MangoRx will be seeking to engage popular social media influencers as well as high-profile celebrities and athletes to assist us as we launch PRIME into the marketplace.” PRIME represents a critical expansion into a new vertical with massive market potential and very little competition on the consumer side, while remaining completely consistent with MangoRx’s established identity as a company committed to providing new and innovative pharmaceutical based solutions helping men achieve optimal performance in all areas of life. With the Company’s established marketing and telemedicine infrastructure in place, MangoRx is hitting the ground running to take PRIME to patients in need across the country. All orders will be reviewed and, pending approval, fulfilled, then discreetly shipped via MangoRx’s URAC accredited mail order partner pharmacy directly to the patient’s doorstep. About PRIME ‘PRIME’, by MangoRx, powered by Kyzatrex®️, an innovative FDA-approved oral Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) product, is a prescription drug that is used to treat adult men who have low or no testosterone levels due to certain medical conditions and is one of only three FDA approved TRT treatments that is delivered orally--as opposed to the traditional, invasive, and inconvenient injection-based drug delivery protocol. ‘PRIME’, by MangoRx, powered by Kyzatrex®️ delivers testosterone in a softgel capsule that is absorbed primarily via the lymphatic system, avoiding liver toxicity. The benefits of ‘PRIME,’ powered by Kyzatrex®️, over traditional injectable TRTs include enhanced vitality, improved mood, sharper cognition, optimized physical performance, and balanced hormonal levels at 96% efficacy by day 90, as demonstrated in Phase 3 clinical research by Marius Pharmaceuticals. With ‘PRIME,’ MangoRx will expand broad-based consumer access to this revolutionary therapy. PRIME is available to MangoRx customers at a price of $249/month with eligibility to receive an additional 10% discount per month if subscribed to another MangoRx product (e.g. ‘Mango’ for erectile function or ‘Grow’ for hair growth).

About MangoRx MangoRx is focused on developing a variety of men's health and wellness products and services via a secure telemedicine platform.
