The present invention relates to solid compositions comprising a substance which improves nitric oxide (NO) availability, re. an NO donor or a precursor of the biosynthesis of nitric oxide or an direct or indirect NO agonist, with arginine being a preferred compound, in combination with a dithiolane, with α-lipoic acid as a preferred compound, and its use for improvement of sexual function. The compositions according to the invention comprise the NO donor or its precursor in excess, based on the molar amount of the constituents. The compositions are also suited for the improvement of sexual function. In particular the present invention relates to the use of a dithiolane in combination with a NO donor or a precursor thereof for the preparation of a medication for treatment of sexual dysfunction.
