Vital signs: systolic blood pressure 100-139 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure 50-89 mmHg, heart rate 50-90 bpm, measured after 5 min at rest in the sitting position 5. Full comprehension: ability to comprehend the full nature and purpose of the study, including possible risks and side effects; ability to co-operate with the Investigator and to comply with the requirements of the entire study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Electrocardiogram (12-lead ECG in supine position): clinically significant abnormalities 2. Physical findings: clinically significant abnormal physical findings which could interfere with the objectives of the study; presence of mouth lesions or any other oral mucosa alteration; presence or history (within 28 days) of any tongue piercings; presence of any partials, braces or dentures 3. Laboratory analyses: clinically significant abnormal laboratory values indicative of physical illness 4. Allergy: ascertained or presumptive hypersensitivity to the active principle (PDE5 inhibitors) or formulations' ingredients or both; history of anaphylaxis to drugs or allergic reactions in general, which the Investigator considers may affect the outcome of the study 5. Diseases: significant history of renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, respiratory, skin, haematological, endocrine, immunological or neurological diseases that may interfere with the aim of the study; history of vision or hearing problems related to drugs of the PDE5 inhibitor pharmacological class; history of priapism; anatomical deformation of the penis (such as angulation, cavernosal fibrosis or Peyronie’s disease); history of ophthalmologic diseases like non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy or retinitis pigmentosa 6.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
