Ristenza® is a patented, innovative approach for reducing Premature Ejaculation (PE). Ristenza® employs a proprietary multi-drug approach that may provide effective relief for PE. Ristenza® comes in capsule form and is taken 1-2 hours prior to sexual activity.
Ristenza® is based on a therapeutic strategy of pinpoint modulation of synaptic receptors directly associated with the ejaculatory process in order to enhance control of ejaculation.
Ristenza® is a compounded medicine that contains only FDA approved drugs.
Each of the ingredients in Ristenza® has a long history of broad-based use, safety and effectiveness for their primary indications. Their use in combination form as Ristenza® is relatively new.
Preliminary studies have shown that Ristenza® is effective for most men in increasing their control over when they ejaculate.
