You may be wondering why you haven’t heard of MUSE. While it is one of the oldest medications for erectile dysfunction treatment, it isn’t the most commonly used. Doctors and patients prefer to try oral medications like Viagra first, and tend to suggest MUSE if other options have failed.
Another reason you might know it as well as other medicines for ED: as treatments go, it’s not quite as convenient as a tablet you simply swallow. It takes a little effort to apply, but it can be helpful for men who can’t use tablets. And it can actually work faster (Viagra can take 30-60 minutes to work, while MUSE can only take 20).
Also unlike other erectile dysfunction medications, MUSE happens to share its name with a popular pop group. As a result, people who search for MUSE often see results for the band instead of the medication.
