A solvent, by definition, is something that dissolves something. So MED3000 is a solvent - for then old active ingredient, the nitryl (working by the Nitric Oxide route - which widens arteries, including in the pen1s, which increases blood flow and which increases erection). That was the rationale, and MED3000 was the solvent that dissolved this and let it penetrate the skin barrier effectively. Now, FUM are saying that after the Ph3 trial, the vehicle (solvent) worked as well as the active ingredient. Okay, fine. Invest base on that, it could be true.
To quote FUM on their website it is a "volatile solvent components creates an evaporative action". Good grief - READ will you!!!!!!! FUM call it a solvent. It is. Probably low molecular mass hydrocarbon. If it works, great and gets approved great - much cheaper to make. But this is what we are investing in!!!!
