Dauntless, I will take your post seriously only because some/many small investirs will and I always like to help the little guy from getting skinned by stock-peddling sleek-meisters:

Q: "So which is it? Is it very dangerous because of its POWERFUL
vasodilutive action? - Or is it very safe because "you have to give a
very amount orally to have enough drug around to get any effect".

A: I dont know what you are asking.Q makes no sense. I will try:

- Phentol is dangerous because it is a POWERFULL VASODILATOR.
-It is only approved IN THE LAST 30 YEARS for IV administration.
-It is not approved for oral administration because
-at the low safe dosage that you would have to give it
it has no effect on the blood pressure
-the reason is that the drug is RPIDLY METABOLIZED within few minutes.
-not enough drug hangs around for 4-6 hours to control BP
-not enough drug will thus hang around for a person to ahve erection for even 15 min
-to have enough effect to last over15 minutes you would have to give a GIANT oral dose
-if you did that,because thae blood levels rise in a CURVILINEAR fashion and not in an easy trapezoidal fashion, one would end up within a very large amount of blood levels at the middle of the curve which would then result in hypotension.

I will be glad to answer any further pedantic questions from you Dauntless, within reason of course, gggg.
Any questions that I can't answer I am sure comrade Asensio will;.....
...in good time...GGGG.
Have a good day.
