I found this which is a patent for phentolamine. It is assigned to ZONA but doesn't seem (to my reading) to cover phentolamine administered as an oral medication for absorption through the GI tract, which is what I understand Vasomax to be.

"In a method for improving sexual responsiveness in a human by administering a vasodilator agent to blood circulation in an amount effective to increase blood flow to the genitalia, the improvement comprising improving sexual responsiveness on demand by administering an effective amount of the agent by a route selected from the group consisting of oral mucosal, intranasal, and rectal."

This is for administration by mucosal absorption. What patent covers Vasomax or am I misreading this one?
