There has been significant enthusiasm recently about the FDA’s latest approval for Eroxon, an over-the-counter (OTC) topical medication designed to address erectile dysfunction (ED). This product claims to provide natural stimulation within 10 minutes, a notable contrast to the 30-60 minutes required by traditional PDE5i medications like Viagra. Renowned hormone and ED expert and founder of Oklahoma Men’s Clinic, Dr. John Robinson, however, remains cautious about buying into the hype.
“For the majority of men, solutions such as Eroxon often prove ineffective because they fail to address the underlying causes of ED,” says Dr. Robinson, who has nearly 20 years of experience in ED treatment and says he and the team of physicians at OMC encounter men daily who have been disappointed by the latest trends, gimmicks, or promised “quick fixes” for ED. “We are concerned about patients squandering their hard-earned money on these disappointments when well-established remedies are readily accessible.”
For Dr. Robinson and Oklahoma Men’s Clinic medical team, addressing ED effectively means delivering real results, often on a patient’s very first visit. Through treatments such as the P-shot, Trimix injections, and BoCox, men suffering from ED can begin to see genuine improvements in various aspects of their sexual health and performance, including sexual endurance, heightened libido, increased sensitivity, and even potential increases in length and/or girth.
Eroxon is a non-medicated hydro-alcoholic topical gel that claims to initiate the nerve stimulation necessary for a natural erection. As per the manufacturer’s claim, this gel is administered to the penile glans, permeating the epidermal layer to reach the nerve endings in the dermal layer and inducing a cooling sensation. As the gel evaporates, it generates a warming feeling, which, in turn, encourages the dilation of penile blood vessels. This dilation promotes increased blood circulation, ultimately facilitating the expansion of the penis to achieve an erection suitable for sexual activity.
Eroxon is not classified as a prescription medication because it lacks active ingredients, positioning it as a “de novo” over-the-counter physical product rather than a pharmacological one. The primary mechanism behind Eroxon’s effectiveness lies in the cooling and warming effects created by the gel’s evaporation, which prompts physical stimulation via nerves and bypasses the need for chemicals.
Nevertheless, it is important to note that Eroxon does not offer a comprehensive solution for addressing erectile dysfunction. It demonstrates effectiveness only 65% of the time, and even the manufacturer’s website cautions that ED is a multifaceted and complex condition influenced by various potential causes and contributing factors. As a result, patients are advised to consult a healthcare professional regarding more holistic treatment options.
Moreover, the topical application of Eroxon presents limitations in terms of dosage control and outcomes, as absorption may be prolonged, and complete absorption is not guaranteed. Various variables can also impact the gel’s effectiveness, leading to inconsistent results for different individuals in diverse situations.
“We don’t like these odds at all,” says Dr. Robinson, “especially when we here at Oklahoma Men’s Clinic provide highly personalized treatments with a success rate of 95% or higher.”
Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects over 50% of men aged 40 to 70, while countless others grapple with various symptoms of suboptimal sexual health. Despite its common occurrence, however, establishing a direct causal link between the underlying reason for ED and the resultant symptoms remains a challenge, making ED treatment solely based on observable symptoms less than effective.
Erectile function is particularly sensitive to hormonal fluctuations, as imbalanced hormones or low testosterone levels can lead to ED. Furthermore, ED can result from the use of specific medications, including antidepressants and blood pressure drugs; health-related behaviors like smoking or excessive alcohol consumption; and psychological or emotional issues such as anxiety, stress, and depression.
Additionally, ED often serves as a crucial indicator of one’s overall health, potentially signaling conditions such as pre-diabetes, heart disease, and low testosterone, among others. Beyond addressing the immediate symptoms of ED, it is imperative for healthcare providers to explore ED in the context of more serious health concerns like sleep apnea, high blood pressure, or obesity.
Effectively managing ED necessitates a holistic approach that considers the interconnectedness of all bodily systems, given that dysfunction in one area can often cascade into dysfunction in others.
Says Dr. Robinson, “Our goal at Oklahoma Men’s Clinic is to pinpoint the root cause of ED and then select from an array of cutting-edge, specialized medical strategies specifically designed to yield enduring, lasting results.”

In the realm of ED solutions, Eroxon simply represents an addition to your healthcare provider’s toolkit, one with its own distinct advantages and drawbacks. It can be a means to lower barriers to ED therapy for many men, enhancing the accessibility of initial treatment, and its favorable safety profile and minimal incidence of side effects may make it a viable long-term option for individuals who cannot or prefer not to use oral medications. Nevertheless, Eroxon should be viewed as a temporary solution rather than a definitive treatment, and its usage should be considered judiciously as it may not serve as a comprehensive “cure-all.”
