CHMP recommends approval for Senstend for treatment of premature ejaculation.- Plethora Solutions

The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) adopted a positive opinion, recommending the granting of a marketing authorisation for the medicinal product Senstend, intended for the treatment of premature ejaculation in adult men. The applicant for this medicinal product is Plethora Pharma Solutions.

Senstend will be available as a cutaneous spray solution (150 / 50 mg/ml). The active substances of Senstend are lidocaine and prilocaine, local anaesthetics (ATC code: N01BB20) that act by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses in the head (glans) of the penis. This action reduces stimulation and helps delay ejaculation time and allow satisfactory sexual activity.

The benefits with Senstend are its ability to provide improvements in ejaculatory control and sexual satisfaction and a reduction in distress related to ejaculation. The most common side effects in men using Senstend are hypoaesthesia (lack of sensation) and erectile dysfunction, while the most common side effects in their female sexual partners are hypoaesthesia and a burning sensation in the genital area.
