'Rub-on Viagra' is being developed

A rub-on cream which will have the same properties as Viagra but without the side effects is being developed by boffins.

Docs say the 'little blue cream' works in a slightly different way, meaning it doesn't cause the headaches, or risks of heart attacks and strokes as the pill version can.

The new drug-delivery system consists of nanoparticles — each smaller than a grain of pollen — that can carry tiny payloads of various drugs and release them in a controlled and sustained manner.

It is also said to act in a matter of minutes rather then the couple of hours which taking Viagra orally can take.

So far the team from the Albert Einstein College, have only tested the cream on rats - we will leave that up to your imagination - but say a human version could be on the market within 10 years.
