* Dr Andrew Sun, said: "A sizeable portion of patients experience problematic side effects from higher-dose PDE5 tablets –back pain, heartburn, joint aches–that affect quality of life and intimacy. ROXUS AND SPONTAN offer the rapid onset men want without the systemic side effects that often compromise their experience. I’m looking forward to introducing these options in my practice as they become available in the US.
