About Sensum+®
Sensum+® is a non-medicated cream which moisturizes the head and shaft of the penis for enhanced feelings of sensation and greater sexual satisfaction. It is a patented blend of essential oils and ingredients generally recognized as safe that recently commenced marketing in the U.S. Innovus Pharma acquired the global ex-U.S. distribution rights to Sensum+® from Centric Research Institute. The safety and efficacy of Sensum+® was evaluated in two post-marketing survey studies in circumcised and non-circumcised men. A total of 382 men used Sensum+® twice daily for 14 consecutive days followed by once daily for eight weeks and as needed thereafter. Study participants reported a ~50% increase in penile sensitivity with the use of Sensum+®.
