At Andromedi, we have conducted our own relevant field studies to quantify whether pentoxifylline is a feasible option as an alternative and conservative treatment for Peyronie’s disease, both as an early phase treatment and for those patients who do not wish to undergo a procedure. surgical. Although in our experience it is a completely safe and useful substance in the treatment of the disease, with minimal adverse effects, its efficacy rate is not as high as one would expect reading those studies that we mentioned at the beginning of the article.
In our centres in Seville, Madrid and Tenerife we have opted for years for a cocktail of drugs applied locally by iontophoresis. It is treatment-induced through electricity. Pentoxifylline is not included in the “recipe” of this specific drug combination for the dissolution and elimination of Peyronie’s fibrotic nodules. It is applied in a pad that is placed in direct contact with the skin of the penis by means of an adhesive. The opposite pole is placed on a leg using another adhesive, this pole pushes a very low-intensity continuous current towards the device of the penis, causing the absorption of the medication through the skin of the penis. This way of applying the drug prevents the drug from passing through the digestive tract without having to be injected.
