    摘要: The present invention describes methods for preventing and treating sexual dysfunctions in male and female patients by orally administering at least one α-adrenergic receptor antagonist and at least one compound that elevates endogenous nitric oxide or endothelium-derived relaxing factor in vivo or is a substrate for nitric oxide synthase. The present invention also describes orally administrable compositions comprising at least one α-adrenergic receptor antagonist and at least one compound that elevates endogenous nitric oxide or endothelium-derived relaxing factor in vivo or is a substrate for nitric oxide synthase. In the present invention, the α-adrenergic receptor antagonist is preferably yohimbine or phentolamine, and the compound that elevates endogenous nitric oxide or endothelium-derived relaxing factor in vivo or is a substrate for nitric oxide synthase is preferably L-arginine. In preferred embodiments, the present invention provides a sachet comprising an orally administrable single dose composition of L-arginine and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and yohimbine and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
