New medical use for gamma-butyrobetaine is disclosed. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions, containing gamma-butyrobetaine or combination thereof with 3-(2,2,2-trimethylhydrazinium)propionate or sildenafil for oral, parenteral, subcutaneous, transdermal, topical, sublingual, intrauretral, intranasal or rectal application, useful for stimulation of sexual activity and potency in mammals. The disclosed compositions, when applied orally for 6 weeks to non-narcotized male rats substantially increase their sexual activity, decreasing the arousal time, increasing the number of copulations and resultativeness of mounting attempts. When applied by intracavernous or intravenous mute said pharmaceutical compositions increase intracorporeal pressure and duration of erection, as well as restore stimulation-induced reflectory erection in narcotized animals. |
