Abstract
The treatment of sexual dysfunction in human patients by an oral therapy regimen of administration of apomorphine and sildenafil is disclosed. This treatment optimizes the efficacy of each drug and substantially minimizes the undesirable side effects associated individually therewith. Apomorphine and sildenafil can be co-administered with a combination dosage unit or administered sequentially in separate dosage units, substantially prior to sexual activity. Other erectogenic agents can be administered along with apomorphine and sildenafil.
