Dicot's study results presented today at European Society for Sexual Medicine
Uppsala, February 17, 2023. Today the pharmaceutical company Dicot presented the latest study of the mechanism of action of LIB-01 at the European Society for Sexual Medicine's annual congress in Rotterdam. The study shows that the mechanism of action differs from today's most common potency drugs, PDE5 inhibitors, and that LIB-01 may thus represent a completely new generation of potency drugs.
The European Society for Sexual Medicine (ESSM) is a leading scientific organization in sexual medicine. The annual congress is now underway, bringing together prominent researchers and doctors in the field from all over the world. Today, Dicot's latest study of the mechanism of action of LIB-01 was presented, that is, how the drug affects underlying processes so that the desired effect occurs.
Dicot has previously announced the results of the ex vivo study, which show that the mechanism of action differs from today's most common potency drugs, PDE5 inhibitors such as Viagra, and that LIB-01 may thus represent a completely new generation of potency drugs. The study results were selected by ESSM's scientific council to be presented at the annual congress in 2023.
"ESSM is well attended this year and a fantastic opportunity for us to present study results for LIB-01. It is clear that there is a great interest in our study results among doctors and researchers within the field ", says Elin Trampe, CEO of Dicot.
