ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to the treatment of impotence, and, more particular, to devices for the delivery of a clinicially effective amount of prostaglandin PGE.sub.2 through the urethral mucosa for the treatment of impotence. The device is a solid or porous wand coated with an effective amount of PGE.sub.2 in a suitable carrier. The wand is sized for insertion into the urethra and the subsequent release and absorption of the PGE.sub.2 through the urethral mucosa. In the alternative, the device is a tubular urethral insert through which a unit dosage of a liquid composition containing the PGE.sub.2 is delivered.
