About NxGen

NxGen’s main products are:

Sexual Health Products

NxGen has developed a range of products that address erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and female sexual dysfunction.

Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

NxGen’s ED nasal spray is now a market leader in the Australian US$50 million market. This product is supplied by ACP directly to the patient and competes directly with Pfizer’s Viagra, Eli Lilly’s Cialis and Bayer’s Levitra. NxGen receives a product licensing fee on these sales from ACP. The Australian ED market is approximately 1/20th of the US market in terms of market size.

Premature Ejaculation (PE)

According to a global study of sexual attitudes and behaviours[1] , 14% of the male population suffers from PE compared with 10% who suffer from ED. This suggests that the market for PE treatment may be significantly larger than the US$3.8 billion ED market. Treatment options are limited and there is no licensed competitive product that addresses this market need.

Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD)

Female sexual dysfunction affects as many as four in every 10 women at some point in their lives. NxGen has developed a gel formulation to address FSD in the Australian market. While it is too early to project future sales of this product the initial uptake has been encouraging.

Compound Pharmacy Products

ACP, NxGen’s strategic pharmacy partner fills and ships on average over 1,400 products a day across Australia. These are all products developed by NxGen. Each of these is an individual prescription issued by an Australian based doctor. Based on this, NxGen has developed a unique ability to license and develop new pharmaceutical products.

Naltrexone – Addiction Implants

NxGen has developed a time release naltrexone implant that is effective against alcoholism, nicotine, gambling and opiate addictions. Clinical trials will shortly commence for NxGen’s alcohol, nicotine and opiate substance abuse products. Future projects include implants for methamphetamine (ice) and cocaine addiction.
