Idorsia’s JERAYGO (aprocitentan) approved in Canada for the treatment of resistant hypertension

  • Idorsia receives approval from Health Canada for JERAYGO (aprocitentan) as the first and only endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) for the treatment of resistant hypertension.
  • JERAYGO is a new oral antihypertensive therapy – the first systemic hypertension treatment to target a new pathway in over 30 years.

Allschwil, Switzerland – January 5, 2026
Idorsia Ltd (SIX: IDIA) announces that Health Canada has granted marketing authorization for JERAYGO (aprocitentan) for the treatment of resistant hypertension in adult patients in combination with at least three antihypertensive medicinal products.1 The recommended dose is 12.5 mg orally once daily. The dose can be increased to 25 mg once daily for patients tolerating the 12.5 mg dose and in need of tighter blood pressure (BP) control.1

Hypertension remains a leading global health challenge and the number one modifiable risk factor for early morbidity and mortality. Despite advances in treatment, many patients still struggle with uncontrolled blood pressure, leaving them at significantly higher risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, and premature death.

Approximately 10% of hypertensive patients have resistant hypertension3,4 – defined by uncontrolled blood pressure despite receiving at least three antihypertensive medications from different classes, at optimal doses – underscoring the urgent need for more effective therapies.

Srishti Gupta, MD, Chief Executive Officer of Idorsia, commented:
“JERAYGO is the first and only hypertension treatment to target the endothelin pathway, a fundamental yet previously unaddressed driver of disease onset, progression, and complications. The results of PRECISION show that targeting the endothelin pathway is crucial to adequately manage uncontrolled blood pressure. JERAYGO has demonstrated rapid, durable, and clinically significant double-digit blood pressure reduction across a broad spectrum of challenging patient populations, including those with obesity, chronic kidney disease, or type 2 diabetes. I am very proud of our team for achieving this milestone.”

Idorsia is engaged in discussions to maximize the ability to make JERAYGO available to patients.

Notes to the editor

About the Phase 3 PRECISION study1,5
The efficacy of aprocitentan was evaluated in one randomized, double-blind (DB), placebo-controlled Phase 3 multicenter study. Patients with uncontrolled blood pressure (systolic blood pressure [SBP] ≥140 mmHg) despite the use of at least three antihypertensive medicinal products and following exclusion of pseudo-resistant hypertension (e.g., white coat effect, inappropriate blood pressure measurement, secondary causes of hypertension) were considered to have resistant hypertension. The patients were switched to standardized background antihypertensive therapy consisting of an angiotensin receptor blocker (valsartan 160 mg), a calcium channel blocker (amlodipine 5 or 10 mg), and a diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg) throughout the study. Patients with concomitant use of beta-blockers continued this treatment throughout the study, in addition to the standardized background antihypertensive therapy and study treatment. A total of 730 patients received either aprocitentan 12.5 mg, aprocitentan 25 mg, or placebo once daily during the initial 4-week DB treatment (part 1). Thereafter, patients received aprocitentan 25 mg once daily during the 32-week single-blind treatment (part 2). At the end of the 32 weeks, patients were re-randomized to receive either aprocitentan 25 mg or placebo, once daily, during the 12-week double-blind withdrawal (DB-WD) treatment (part 3).

The primary efficacy endpoint was the change in sitting SBP (SiSBP) from baseline to Week 4 during DB treatment (part 1), measured at trough by unattended automated office blood pressure (uAOBP). The key secondary endpoint was the change in SiSBP measured at trough by uAOBP from DB-WD baseline (Week 36) to Week 40 (part 3).

Patients had a mean age of 61.7 years (range 24 to 84 years; 34.1% were ≥ 65 and < 75 years; 9.9% were ≥ 75 years) and 59.5% were male. Patients were White (82.9%), African American (11.2%) or Asian (5.2%). The mean body weight was 97.6 kg (range 46 to 196 kg) and mean BMI was 33.7 kg/m2 (range 18 to 64 kg/m2). Patients had a medical history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (54.1%), ischemic heart disease (30.8%), central nervous system vascular disorders (23.0%), chronic kidney disease stages 3 and 4 (22.2%; 19.3% of patients had eGFR 30–59 mL/min/1.73 m2 and 2.9% had eGFR 15–29 mL/min/1.73 m2), congestive heart failure (19.6%), and sleep apnea syndrome (14.1%). 63.0% of patients had four or more antihypertensive medicinal products.

Key PRECISION findings1,5
Doses of aprocitentan 12.5 and 25 mg showed a statistically significant reduction vs placebo on SiSBP at Week 4. The treatment effect was consistent for sitting diastolic blood pressure (SiDBP). The persistence of the BP-lowering effect of aprocitentan was shown in DB-WD treatment (part 3). In patients re-randomized to placebo, the mean SiSBP increased, whereas in patients re-randomized to aprocitentan 25 mg the mean effect on SiSBP was stable, resulting in a statistically significant difference. The treatment effect was consistent for SiDBP. The effect was also consistent across SBP and DBP measured by ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) and assessed as daytime, night-time, and 24h periods at Week 4 and Week 40. A substantial proportion (i.e., at least 90%) of the BP-lowering effect was observed within the first two weeks of treatment with aprocitentan. The effect of aprocitentan was consistent across subgroups of age (including patients ≥ 75 years), sex, race (including patients with Black or African American origin), BMI, baseline urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), baseline eGFR and medical history of diabetes.

The most frequently reported adverse reactions with aprocitentan were edema/fluid retention (mostly peripheral edema) (9.1%, 12.5 mg; 18.4%, 25 mg) and hemoglobin decreased (3.7%, 12.5 mg; 1.2%, 25 mg).

JERAYGO is contraindicated for use in women who are pregnant, breast-feeding, in women of childbearing potential who are not using reliable contraception, patients with severe hepatic impairment, and in patients with hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients.

HUTCHMED Initiates Phase III Stage of the Ongoing Trial of the Combination of Surufatinib and Camrelizumab for Treatment-Naïve Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

HUTCHMED Initiates Phase III Stage of the Ongoing Trial of the Combination of Surufatinib and Camrelizumab for Treatment-Naïve Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma




HUTCHMED Initiates Phase III Stage of the Ongoing Trial of the Combination of Surufatinib and Camrelizumab for Treatment-Naïve Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

HONG KONG and SHANGHAI and FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Jan. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HUTCHMED (China) Limited (“HUTCHMED”) (Nasdaq/AIM:​HCM; HKEX:​13) today announces that it has initiated the Phase III part of the Phase II/III trial to evaluate the efficacy of the combination of surufatinib, camrelizumab, nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine as a first-line treatment for patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (“PDAC”) in China. The first patient received the first dose on December 30, 2025.

PDAC is a highly aggressive form of cancer, representing over 90% of pancreatic cancer cases. Globally, an estimated 511,000 people were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, leading to approximately 467,000 deaths in 2022, with an average five-year survival rate of less than 10%. In China, an estimated 119,000 people were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, causing approximately 106,000 deaths in 2022.1 Treatments such as chemotherapy, surgery and radiation are commonly employed, but have not shown significant improvement in patient outcomes. Under 20% of metastatic pancreatic cancer patients survive for more than a year. 2

The trial is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, active-controlled Phase II/III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of surufatinib combined with camrelizumab, nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine (“S+C+AG”) versus nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine (“AG”) in adults with metastatic pancreatic cancer who have not previously received systemic anti-tumor therapy. A total of 62 patients were enrolled in the Phase II part, with plans to enroll approximately 400 additional patients in the Phase III part. The primary endpoint for the Phase III part is overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints include progression-free survival (“PFS”), objective response rate (“ORR”), duration of response (DoR), disease control rate (“DCR”), quality of life and safety. Professor Shukui Qin of China Pharmaceutical University Nanjing Tianyinshan Hospital and Professor Jihui Hao of Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital are the leading principal investigators of this study. Additional details may be found at clinicaltrials.gov, using identifier NCT06361888.

Results from the Phase II part were recently presented at the 2025 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Asia Congress.3 As of the data cut-off of July 24, 2025, the median PFS follow-up duration was 8.15 months. The S+C+AG regimen demonstrated a median PFS of 7.20 months compared to 5.52 months for the AG arm (stratified hazard ratio [HR] 0.499, log-rank p=0.0407), representing a 50.1% reduction in the risk of progression or death. Consistent benefits were observed across other key efficacy endpoints, including ORR (67.7% vs 41.9%, p=0.0430) and DCR (93.5% vs 71.0%, p=0.0149). Although overall survival data were immature at the time of analysis, a favorable trend was observed (not reached vs 8.48 months, unstratified HR 0.555), with 9 events in the S+C+AG arm (N=31) and 15 events in the AG arm (N=31). The safety profile was manageable. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) of grade 3 or above occurred in 80.6% of patients in the S+C+AG arm compared to 61.3% in the AG arm.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements reflect HUTCHMED’s current expectations regarding future events, including its expectations regarding the therapeutic potential of surufatinib for the treatment of PDAC and the further development of surufatinib in this and other indications. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties include, among other things, assumptions regarding the timing and outcome of clinical studies and the sufficiency of clinical data to support a new drug application submission of surufatinib for the treatment of PDAC or other indications in China or other jurisdictions, its potential to gain approvals from regulatory authorities on an expedited basis or at all, the efficacy and safety profile of surufatinib, HUTCHMED’s ability to fund, implement and complete its further clinical development and commercialization plans for surufatinib and the timing of these events. In addition, as certain studies rely on the use of other drug products such as camrelizumab, nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine as combination therapeutics with surufatinib, such risks and uncertainties include assumptions regarding the safety, efficacy, supply and continued regulatory approval of these therapeutics. Existing and prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. For further discussion of these and other risks, see HUTCHMED’s filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and on AIM.

CystoSmart™, an AI Software Tool for Bladder Cancer Detection, Developed with Cutting-Edge Technology Receives Clearance from Health Sciences Authority Singapore

SINGAPORE and LONDON and NEW YORK, Jan. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Intelligent Scopes Corp (“ISC”), specializing in state-of-the-art image enhancement and precision AI software solutions for urology and gastroenterology, is pleased to announce that CystoSmart™ has received regulatory clearance from Health Sciences Authority (HSA), the National Regulatory Agency for medical products and devices in Singapore.

CystoSmart™, an AI software tool for bladder tumor detection in patients undergoing screening and surveillance endoscopic examination of the bladder is brand agnostic and compatible with flexible and rigid scopes, including single-use scopes. The device is intended to be used with white light cystoscopy to aid clinicians in improving detection accuracy of bladder tumors in real-time and post processing conditions.

The HSA clearance for CystoSmart™, which comes eleven months after it was approved by ANVISA, the Brazilian medical devices regulator, marks a significant milestone. Not only does it clear CystoSmart™ for use in Singapore, but, through the ‘Access Consortium’ collaboration, it paves the way for accelerated regulatory clearances in Australia, Canada, Switzerland and United Kingdom, countries that are part of the Access Consortium group.

Bladder cancer is the tenth most common cancer worldwide, and the sixth most common malignancy in men. With increasing incidence globally, bladder cancer has a high rate of progression and recurrence (up to 80%) requiring repeated follow up examinations. White light cystoscopy is the standard and most widely used method for bladder tumor detection and surveillance, however, as per published studies, between 10% and 20% of bladder tumors are regularly missed by standard white light cystoscopy.

Dr Rajesh Nair, Chief Surgical Officer of ISC, commented, “Early identification of cancer translates to improved clinical outcomes, impacting positively on the patient journey and overall health economy.  Accurate exclusion reduces inappropriate investigations which carry a physical and psychological burden for patients. Early detection or exclusion of bladder cancer allows for more effective resource utilisation.” He added, “CystoSmart™ can be used as an aid for urologists to improve detection accuracy: to reduce missed tumors and reduce unnecessary invasive biopsies and interventions.

As per clinical and technical evaluations conducted, CystoSmart has a sensitivity (true positive rate) of over 95% and a specificity (true negative rate) of over 98% in bladder tumor detection thereby aiding clinicians to improve accuracy.

Best Male Enhancement Pills of 2026

#1 Performer 8: Best Overall

Performer 8 is our top choice for the best male enhancement pill of 2026. While women receive a “second peak” of sexual boost in their 40s, men tend to see their libidos decline. Some of Europe’s most highly regarded scientists and industry experts are changing that with male enhancement pills. The result: Performer 8.

Performer 8 stands out as the best male enhancement supplement on the market. The natural and effective formula lets you please your partner like never before. That includes boosting your sexual stamina, providing firmer erections, and raising your sperm count.

The ingredients in Performer 8 include muira puama, ashwagandha, ferrous bisglycinate, maca root, panax ginseng, pine bark extract, horny goat weed, grape seed extract, and glucuronolactone.

Each bottle of Performer 8 has optimized dosage and powerful natural ingredients. All you have to do is take the recommended number of pills each day. Thanks to the organic formula, you’ll have minimal chances of side effects.

Best Male Enhancement Pills 2026: What This Analysis Covers and Who It Is For

If you’re researching the best male enhancement pills for men in 2026, chances are you’ve already seen bold ads and big promises online—and decided to look for real information before making a purchase. That’s a smart move. The male enhancement market is crowded, competitive, and often driven more by marketing hype than by facts. Knowing how to evaluate products properly helps protect both your health and your money.

This analysis is created for men who are considering natural male enhancement supplements as part of their sexual wellness goals in 2026. It’s especially useful for men who want to understand how these products work, what ingredients matter, and how to spot quality formulas instead of relying solely on promotional claims. It’s also for men who want clear, honest insight into what supplements can realistically support—and when professional medical advice may be the better option.

In this guide, the term best is used only as a comparison tool. It refers to how products measure up against commonly researched criteria such as ingredient transparency, formulation quality, safety standards, and available research—not as a promise of results or a guarantee of performance for any individual.

What you’ll find here is a structured breakdown of the key factors that separate well-designed male enhancement supplements from low-quality alternatives. Using Performer 8 Male Enhancement as a reference point based on publicly available information, this analysis explores ingredient science, usage expectations, safety considerations, age-related factors, and realistic outcome guidelines.

Additional background resources may be referenced for educational purposes only. They are included to support independent research and do not imply endorsement or medical approval.

How Do Natural Male Enhancement Pills Work?

Many male enhancement pills work the same way. They elevate the body’s nitric oxide production, increasing blood flow to the muscle as a result. Of course, this mechanism doesn’t apply to all male enhancement supplements. Some products, like Semenax, work because the ingredients tell the testes to create more sperm.

Nitric oxide is the key that unlocks superior sexual performance and health. It can make erections stronger and firmer within minutes. It’s why erectile dysfunction products like Cialis, Levitra, and Viagra use elevated nitric oxide levels as a treatment. The compound serves multiple functions in the body. These include relaxing the muscles in the blood vessels. When the male muscles relax, that act allows the body to circulate more blood through the main vein. In other words, nitric oxide works as a vasodilator.

While you can find nitric oxide in leafy green vegetables and citrus fruits, your body may not make enough of it naturally. The best male enhancement pills send signals to your system to produce more. This process is not the same as the supplements containing nitric oxide because, in this case, your body is making more of it.

Your blood vessels aren’t the only things that benefit from nitric oxide. The biological messenger can combat inflammation and soreness, making it ideal as a post-workout supplement. Other benefits include improved memory, sleep quality, athletic performance, immune system, strength, and oxygen levels in the blood.

Older men stand to benefit the most from vasodilators. They tend to have an increased risk for erectile dysfunction and may suffer lower sex drive and testosterone levels. The right male enhancement supplement can combat aging, blood flow problems, and lifestyle factors such as high alcohol consumption and smoking.

Things to Look for When Buying the Best Male Enhancement Supplements

Quality Ingredients:

What you put in your body matters. Make sure your male enhancement pills have high-quality, potent ingredients that deliver optimized benefits with no side effects. Some performance-enhancing natural ingredients to look for include Ginkgo biloba, Tribulus terrestris, Panax ginseng, L-methionine, and L-arginine HCL.

Every ingredient has a distinctive purpose. When researching male enhancement supplements, double-check that the formula helps you achieve your goals. For example, Ginkgo biloba increases blood flow to the male, while Tribulus terrestris can improve urinary tract health, reduce inflammation, and boost testosterone production for males over 40.

Clean Labeling:

Clean labeling is a must when purchasing male enhancement pills. You should know every ingredient that goes into your body. The last thing you want is to have an allergic reaction because a manufacturer claims to have a proprietary formula. While there’s a time and place for proprietary formula, male enhancement supplements are not one of them. The discreet approach lets unscrupulous companies put fillers and synthetic compounds into the sex pills so that they can turn a quick profit. The best male enhancement pills have clean labels that list the ingredients in the supplement.

Money-Back Guarantee:

Money-back guarantees provide peace of mind to consumers. If a male enhancement pill doesn’t deliver results, you can return it for a complete refund. All of the companies on our list let users try the supplement for two to three months risk-free. Money-back guarantees give you a chance to see how effective a product is. Do you notice changes to your testosterone levels or sexual desire? Do you have higher energy levels and lower rates of erectile dysfunction? The trial period allows you to answer those questions without financial risk.

Positive Feedback:

Customer reviews provide a behind-the-scenes look at the consumer experience after people purchase male enhancement supplements. They let you know if products work for real people like they do in the commercials. Thorough and informative customer reviews can provide the push you need to select one pill over another.

We prioritized male enhancement pills that had glowing reviews. Products like VigRX Plus and Max Performer receive consistent critical praise and have scientific studies backing their efficacy. You can have confidence knowing that these pills will improve your testosterone levels, sexual desire, and male size instead of only claiming that they can. You can also read detailed testo max here.

Made in the USA:

It’s never been more important to invest in American-made products. Instead of sending your hard-earned dollars abroad, you can bolster your local economy and support blue-collar jobs. Buying male enhancement pills that say “Made in the USA” ensures that your dollars will support American workers and their families.

You don’t have to worry about quality when you buy pills produced in the USA. The Food and Drug Administration oversees manufacturing facilities, checking that they have up-to-date equipment and clean work environments. This oversight guarantees the highest-caliber working conditions possible.

Benefits of Taking Male Enhancement Pills

Most men take male enhancement pills to improve their sex life. The supplements work for users of all ages as they overcome everything from erectile dysfunction to low libido. Products like Performer 8 deliver a wide range of benefits that amplify male sexual performance.

Some pills have narrowly tailored benefits, like Semenax. This supplement magnifies orgasm intensity, making each climax more rewarding. It increases penile sensitivity during intercourse, making the experience more satisfying for you and your partner.

Other men want longer-lasting erections. VigRX Plus prolongs erections by relaxing the blood vessels and generating more blood flow to their members. Men that take VigRX Plus report stronger and more enduring erections.

Finally,male enhancement pills can make men feel like “men” again. Some products increase testosterone levels, instilling guys with the strength and vigor they had in their youth. The supplements can seem to turn back time and, in the process, make sex more exciting and rewarding.

Male Enhancement 

Some people use male enhancement and male enlargement synonymously, but they are different things. Male enhancement supplement products focus on boosting male sexual health, while male enlargement tools involve lengthening the genitalia. Understanding the difference can help you make an informed decision when shopping for supplements and male enlargement devices.

We’ve already touched on male enhancement products. Most of these oral supplements increase blood flow to the male, resulting in firmer and thicker erections. Some pills provide a natural boost of testosterone production and energy, too.

Male enhancement products cater to individuals who want to upgrade their sex lives. Perhaps you struggle with erectile dysfunction or a low sperm count. These supplements resolve underlying issues, restoring your sex drive to that of a 20-year-old.

male enlargement comes in several forms. The three most common methods are male pumps, traction devices, and male surgery. While each option makes the genitalia longer, each does so in distinct ways.

A male pump creates a high-pressure environment that increases blood flow to your male temporarily. Men that use such a device can maintain a firm erection for half an hour or more. It makes penetrative sex with a partner more manageable and efficient.

A male pump goes over your genitals, forming a tight seal with the skin around the base. If you haven’t shaved your pubic hair, you should do so before using the device. It’s no fun having stray hairs snag in the tube.

Once the device is in place, turn on the motor or use the hand pump to remove the air. As the chamber pressurizes, it draws blood toward the tip of the male. The result is a thicker erection without the need for prescription medication or surgical intervention.

Traction devices, also known as male extenders, are medical products to correct Peyronie’s disease. This condition involves an unnatural curvature of the male due to plaque or fibrous tissue. Individuals have to wear the device for several hours per day to straighten and lengthen their male.

A study from Live Science had 15 men use traction devices for six months. The men increased the amount of tension on the shaft from 1.3 pounds to 2.6 pounds midway through the experiment. The result was a 0.9-inch improvement in flaccid male length.

Outside of surgery, traction devices are the only way to enhance male size permanently. The products use carefully calibrated tension to lengthen the genitalia through micro-tears. However, men must wear them for roughly eight hours a day, making them painful and cumbersome at times.

male surgery serves as the most extreme form of male enlargement. It involves a surgeon placing a silicon sheath underneath the skin to lengthen the male. Insurance does not cover this procedure, so you will have to pay the approximately $15,000 medical bills out-of-pocket.

male surgery is simple and straightforward. A surgeon places you under general anesthesia and inserts the sheath. You’ll have to go to a follow-up appointment two or three days after the operation.

According to Dr. James J. Elist, a Beverly Hills urologist specializing in penile treatments, male surgery can improve male length and girth. The average man stands to add 1.5 inches in length and one inch in girth while flaccid. People that have male surgery have average erections of 7.7 inches after the procedure.

Who Should Take Male Enhancement Pills?

Erectile dysfunction is more common than you might think. According to a Danish study from 2018, roughly one-third of men have some form of erectile dysfunction. The condition appears more frequently and becomes more severe the older you get.

Why do older men have higher rates of erectile dysfunction? There isn’t one answer. Instead, erectile dysfunction is a byproduct of aging, with older men having lower energy levels, testosterone levels, and sex drive.

Male enhancement pills provide a safe and reliable way to combat aging. They can revitalize your sexual desire, giving you the stamina and erection quality you need to please your partner. The supplements let you fight back against Father Time and Mother Nature.

You don’t have to be in middle age or retirement to need male enhancement supplements. Some men have poor circulation, making it challenging for them to achieve erections despite being in excellent health otherwise. Other individuals take supplements like Semenax to raise their odds of conception since it can improve sperm count and motility.

Even the best male enhancement pills can’t work miracles, though. If you want to overcome erectile dysfunction or low testosterone levels, you should use them with diet and exercise. The holistic approach ensures that your body is the fittest and healthiest version of itself.

Do Male Enhancement Pills Have Any Side Effects?

Most organic male enhancement pills have no side effects. The wholesome formulas deliver the increased sex drive and blood flow you want with minimal chance for an allergic reaction.

Note that you do have a slim chance of experiencing side effects, though. Some people have dry mouths, nausea, and low energy levels. These side effects should only last for a few hours. If symptoms persist for several days, you should contact your primary care physician.

People have used compounds like Asian red ginseng and Tribulus terrestris for centuries. These practical and reliable compounds give you the best chance of taking your sex drive up a notch.

Always make sure to read the label before purchasing supplements. Leading manufacturers include a complete list of ingredients on the label so that you can do your research ahead of time. If you’re unsure about the formula, talk with your local doctor.

Does Performer 8 Actually Work?

Research cited within the male enhancement supplement category shows that certain ingredient combinations have been associated with improvements in sexual performance markers when compared to placebo over 12-week periods. Studies on similar formulations have reported statistically meaningful results. However, these findings do not represent direct clinical testing of the finished Performer 8 product. Individual results vary—some men notice clear benefits, while others may experience minimal changes. The satisfaction guarantee allows users to try Performer 8 and evaluate its effectiveness with reduced financial risk.

How Long Does Performer 8 Take to Work?

Performer 8 is formulated as a daily supplement intended to support the body gradually. According to manufacturer guidance and category research, noticeable results typically develop with consistent use over several weeks, with many studies assessing outcomes around 12 weeks. This is not an instant or on-demand product.

Is Performer 8 Safe?

Performer 8 contains natural, plant-based ingredients. However, natural supplements are not automatically suitable for everyone. Men with medical conditions, those taking prescription medications, or individuals with specific health risks should consult a healthcare professional before use.

Is Performer 8 FDA Approved?

Performer 8 is a dietary supplement, not a prescription medication. Dietary supplements are regulated differently and are not approved by the FDA for effectiveness prior to sale. The standard disclaimer applies: this product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

How Does Performer 8 Compare to Prescription Options?

Prescription treatments for erectile dysfunction are FDA-approved and supported by extensive clinical data with defined timelines. Performer 8 is a natural supplement that works through a different mechanism and evidence profile. It requires consistent daily use over time, and results can vary significantly between individuals.

Can I Take Performer 8 With My Medications?

This should be discussed with your healthcare provider. Some botanical ingredients may interact with medications, especially those related to heart health, blood pressure, blood thinning, diabetes, or circulation.

How Does Performer 8 Compare to Other Products From the Same Manufacturer?

The manufacturer offers several male wellness supplements, each designed for different performance and health goals. Some men explore more than one option to find the best fit. The shared guarantee policy helps reduce financial risk during evaluation.

Can Performer 8 Help With Fertility?

Performer 8 is formulated to support sexual performance, not fertility. While some ingredients have been researched in fertility contexts, the product is not positioned or marketed as a fertility supplement. Men with fertility concerns should seek professional medical advice.

Why Do Some Reviews Say Performer 8 Doesn’t Work?

Responses to supplements vary widely. Factors such as age, baseline health, consistency of use, expectations, and underlying causes of sexual concerns all influence results. Mixed reviews are common in this category and reflect normal individual differences.

What If Performer 8 Does Not Work for Me?

According to company policy, customers can request a refund under the satisfaction guarantee if the product does not meet expectations. If supplements are insufficient, consulting a medical professional to explore other options may be appropriate.


Final Considerations: Making Your Decision

Choosing a male enhancement solution is a personal decision based on health status, goals, and preferences. This information is intended to support informed decision-making, not replace medical advice.

Key Takeaways

  • Quality male enhancement supplements are evaluated based on ingredient research, formulation transparency, manufacturing standards, safety information, and refund policies.
  • Performer 8 aligns with many commonly cited quality benchmarks based on publicly available disclosures.
  • Supplements work best when combined with healthy lifestyle habits.
  • Medical consultation is important for men with health conditions or those taking medications.

Next Steps

If Performer 8 fits your needs, review the latest label details, policies, and availability on the official website.
Always consult a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.
If natural options do not deliver adequate results, professional medical evaluation may help identify alternative solutions.

Can You Buy male Enhancement Pills Over-the-Counter?

Yes, you can find over-the-counter natural male enhancement supplements. Most of these pills treat erectile dysfunction, like sildenafil. They stimulate blood flow to the male, making it easier for men to achieve an erection.

The problem is that over-the-counter medications you can find at your local pharmacy don’t have the same power as the stuff you find online. These male enhancers have lower levels of key ingredients, making them less effective overall. Shop online if you want the best possible results for your erection quality and male size.

New York City, Jan. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

In 2026 Getting good sleep is more like a habit that some people cannot make due to hectic lifestyles. Over the counter, sleeping pills aren’t synthetic drugs but natural supplements which we are going to discuss below. 

They do not have side effects like most pharmaceuticals prescription-based sleeping pills available in the pharmacy. Speaking of OTC sleeping pills, NooCube Sleep is the best otc sleeping aid supplement to attain unmatched effectiveness and sleep quality. Click here to visit noocube sleep official website.

Sleep is like charging the battery of humans which gives you enough rest to carry on with the next day. Getting good sleep is closely linked to a healthy life and healthy brain functioning. Those people who take a good night’s sleep regularly tend to be sharp learners, memorizers, and good rapid decision makers because their cognitive skills are just to the point.

Insufficient sleep is associated with many serious and life-threatening diseases such as cardiovascular incidents, obesity, diabetes, and loss of focus or concentration. Sleep is a natural phenomenon that occurs daily but still around 20% of people are unable to get it every night, thus they develop occasional symptoms of insomnia.

Studies by the National Sleep Foundation show that sleep problems are more commonly reported now than ever before, so it should be no surprise that demand for sleeping medications is at an all time high. There are some people dealing with sleep issues that still find themselves asking are sleeping pills safe though.

A lot of this confusion comes from a lack of understanding on the difference between prescription drugs and over the counter sleep aids. While both can be used to treat severe insomnia patients, that latter is undoubtedly much safer and a far better choice for people who just have a little trouble falling asleep.

That is why we have created our guide to the best OTC sleep aids and prescription sleep medications. This will give you all of the information that you need to choose the perfect sleep aid to help combat any sleep disorder, optimise your sleep wake cycle, or simply just improve sleep habits, no matter your own situation.

Best Sleeping Pills Over the Counter

The thing about OTC medicines is they can be purchased without a prescription and most of them are sold in every pharmacy nearby. OTC medications can also be found in many supermarkets and drug stores since they don’t require direct FDA approval, however, the active ingredient must be FDA-approved.

FDA is responsible for the streaming of the best sleeping pills in the market and also their distribution takes place in the right hand.

There are countless brands of the counter sleeping pills most of which are antihistamines that are used against allergies. Since allergy medication induces drowsiness, this made them used as OTC sleeping aid.

Best Over the Counter Sleeping Pills

OTC sleeping aids are preferred over sleeping drugs because OTC versions improve the overall sleep experiences of the users.

Melatonin is put in most natural sleep aids as studies on behavioral sleep medicine show it is among the very best ways to help you sleep. However, some people avoid it as it can cause side effects like nightmares or frequent urination in certain people, making it even harder to sleep.

NooCube Sleep Upgrade is one of the most popular natural sleep aids for people in this group, as it specifically omits melatonin from its formula.

It instead contains:

  • Magnesium
  • Calcium
  • Vitamin d
  • Lemon balm leaf powder
  • Lavender extract

Sleeping aids for which you don’t need a prescription and are available over the counter are:

      1.   Melatonin

Melatonin is a natural hormone produced by the body to make it sleep. The hormone makes signaling to the brain that it’s time to sleep, however, in sleep-deficient people the levels of melatonin are greatly reduced. Melatonin production and release depends on the time of the day, typically it increases naturally in the evening and falls in the morning.

Melatonin supplements are popular sleeping aid in 2026 and are mainly used by individuals having an impaired melatonin cycle. In many studies, a connection was established between melatonin production and daytime sleep quality. Men and women such as shift workers whose schedule requires them to sleep during the daytime.

Melatonin does not just improve sleep quality but it can also mend fewer sleep disorders. The compound reduces the time people need to fall asleep or in other words, sleep latency, and it increases the total amount of time you sleep.

      2.   Valerian Root

Searching for the best OTC sleeping pills, you may always find valerian root which is a common treatment for anxiety, depression, and menopause symptoms. In US, Europe, and Asia, Valerian Root supplements are the most common sleeping aid which shares different results based on a person’s mental health.

Valerian supplements tend to work better in menopausal and postmenopausal women whose sleep quality was greatly affected before. After taking valerian, they claimed to have better sleep quality with diminished symptoms of a sleep disorder.

      3.   Glycine

Glycine is a typical amino acid that plays a main role in the central nervous system by improving sleep patterns. The exact mechanism of action of glycine is unknown, but it is thought to play a main part in lowering the body temperature during sleep.

In a study conducted in 2006, participants who consumed around 3 grams of Glycine slept more immediately than those who took a placebo. Individuals in the glycine group also reported less fatigue the next morning with feelings of liveliness and mental clarity. You can find Glycine supplements as the counter sleeping aid in nearby stores.

      4.   Cannabidiol

CBD is a hemp-derived compound that features oils, capsules, tinctures, and balms. Since CBD contains no or less amount of THC so the psychoactive effects are absent but the CBD gets you the highest quality sleep.

In many studies, it was confirmed that CBD alleviates anxiety and acts as a natural sleeping aid. Many studies confirmed CBD could reduce the symptoms of insomnia when used alone.

      5.   Lavender

Lavender plant is found in numerous regions of the world, the plant bears purple flowers that are dried and then used for medicinal and household purposes. Lavender has a distinct and soothing fragrance that enhances sleepy feelings. Several studies confirm that just smelling lavender oil before sleep is enough to improve sleep quality, esp in individuals with insomnia complaints.

A study with older adults with dementia suggested going under aromatherapy with lavender oil. The therapy is effective at improving sleep disturbances symptoms. The total sleep time of users also increased with only a few people waking up early and being unable to get back to sleep.

      6.   Magnesium

Hundreds of minerals are there but only magnesium is involved with hundreds of processes in the body including brain and heart functions. Magnesium is a trace mineral that could make it easier for a person to sleep by inducing quietness.

Studies have suggested magnesium has relaxing effects which can be potentially beneficial for regulating melatonin production. Magnesium relaxes the muscles and induces sleep!

There are many forms of magnesium available but most people combine magnesium with other sleeping aids including glycine and melatonin. One study demonstrated the effects of the magnesium, vitamin B, and melatonin combination which were greatly effective for treating asymptomatic insomnia.

Magnesium is the key to increasing GABA levels, Gamma Aminobutyric Acid is a messenger in the brain with calming effects as its features.

      7.   Passionflower

Also known as PassifloraIncarnata is an herbal remedy for insomnia. This species of flower is associated with sleep improvements that first came from North America. Passionflower sleeping aid benefits have been tested in animal studies although more data is to be compiled for human subjects.

A study compared the effect of passionflower tea and a placebo made from parsley leaves, each participant drank each tea about an hour before bedtime for 1 week. Participants who drank passionflower tea noticed lucid dreaming and immediate sleep more than the placebo group.

Best Sleeping Pills by NooCube

Struggling to sleep is like fighting a never-ending battle and switching sides to another in bed continuously. Insomnia is a distressing condition that can take out all the liveliness in your life and it makes you cranky, tired, and less creative with impaired mental and physical performances.
