Eroxon gel is an effective erectile dysfunction treatment for anyone who finds it difficult to get or keep an erection. Eroxon gel does not contain an active ingredient. It stimulates the nerve endings in the penis to cause an erection. Eroxon is classed as a medical device and not a medication, and because it has no active ingredient, it is less likely to cause side effects. The gel is applied directly to the penis.

Eroxon gel works by stimulating blood flow to the penis through a unique cooling and warming effect which helps you get and keep an erection hard enough for sex. The cooling and warming effect caused by Eroxon gel evaporating off the penis stimulates the nerve endings in the glans penis (the head or tip), resulting in an erection.

How long does Eroxon Gel take to work?

Most men report getting an erection within 10 minutes of applying Eroxon gel. However, it’s only effective when you are sexually aroused, so making sure you’re aroused before you use it should help it work as fast as possible.

How effective is Eroxon Gel?

Clinical trials have found that 60% of patients experienced improvements in erectile function following the use of Eroxon Gel. The same research also confirmed that 60% also achieved an erection in less than 10 minutes.

Eroxon gel is applied directly to the head of the penis. It is available in a single-use tube and should be applied just before you want to have sex.

To apply Eroxon gel:

1. Unscrew the cap.
2. Pierce the tube seal with the end of the cap.
3. Squeeze the tube firmly to empty all the contents, approximately a pea-sized amount, onto the head of your penis – if you are not circumcised, gently pull the foreskin as far back as is comfortable before applying the gel.
4. Massage the gel onto the head of the penis for about 15 seconds.
5. Eroxon will only help you get an erection if you are sexually aroused, so it may help to get your partner involved in applying Eroxon gel to your penis.
