MED3000 is Futura's topical gel formulation that is a novel treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) through a unique evaporative mode of action. Futura has conducted two Phase 3 studies using MED3000 in ED; FM57 study which enabled Futura to be granted a CE Mark in 2021 and FM71 which enabled Futura to be granted US marketing authorisation. Both studies demonstrated that MED3000 presents an effective clinically proven treatment for ED with a rapid speed of onset and a favourable benefit versus risk profile ideally suited for an 'Over the Counter' classification.
Eroxon® is FDA approved in the US, CE marked in Europe and UKCA marked in the UK as a clinically proven topical treatment for adult men with erectile dysfunction under the brand Eroxon® with a key claim of "Helps you get an erection within 10 minutes". Eroxon® is the agreed brand name in certain regions such as the EU whereas MED3000 continues to be the internal code name used by the Company and also in reference to countries where regulatory approval or commercial distribution agreements have not yet been achieved. www.eroxon.com
