ABSTRACT:
A method of treatment for impotency is provided. The method involves the administration of nitric oxide by a nitric oxide-releasing agent capable of providing a penile erection-inducing amount of nitric oxide to the corpus cavernosum of the penis of an impotent male animal. Also provided is a nitric oxide delivery means for use in the method.
