New Delhi: After helping in inventing the Viagra, the little blue pills that enhanced the duration of love-making, Mike Wyllie has created a drug known as spray-on medication that tackles premature ejaculation.

He predicts the spray-on medication, designed to prolong the joy of sex for millions of sufferers and their partners, is likely to become ‘the next blockbuster’ drug, reported MailOnline.

According to a survey, premature ejaculation affects more than one in four men and majority of the people feel embarrassed to seek help as treatments are generally limited to powerful anti-depressants and counselling.

Though there is one pill for the problem, but not widely available in the UK as it is very expensive for the mass.

Whereas, it is hoped the spray, called Tempe, which could be on sale within months, will be cheap enough for prescription on the NHS.

In trials, some men using the spray ahead of sex lasted up to eight-times longer. But the drug is generally thought to treble a man’s ‘staying power’, reports MailOnline.

Dr Wyllie, formerly of pharmaceutical giant Pfizer and now chief scientific officer of British biotech firm Plethora Solutions, calls Tempe his ‘new Viagra’.

According to the report published on MailOnline, “Tempe contains low doses of two anaesthetics which help give a man more control, without creating an uncomfortable numbing sensation.”

It takes about five minutes to get to work, but those who do not wish to give away their secret will be pleased to know it can be sprayed on up to two hours before sex.

A pocket-sized spray will last a year, if a man has sex five or six times a month.
