Treatments like Viagra can help men achieve erectile dysfunction, but they can also contribute to sexual activity, according to a study in the New England Journal of Medicine. The findings, from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, placebo-controlled trial of sildenafil in 80 men with erectile dysfunction, were presented at the American Urological Association Annual Meeting in San Antonio. The study was supported by the National Institutes of Health and was conducted by researchers at the Cleveland Clinic, a Cleveland Clinic Foundation grant, and the University of California, San Francisco.
"It can be difficult to find a treatment that has the most potential to improve erectile function," said Dr. David H. Schoenfeld, a urologist with the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. "It's difficult to get to the treatment for what is probably the most common cause of ED."
Viagra is a selective inhibitor of the cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which is found in the penis, and it works by increasing the levels of a molecule that facilitates erections. The U. S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved sildenafil for this purpose.
The study's authors, Dr. John T. Lee, a urologist at the University of Florida and a co-author of the study, noted that sildenafil has the potential to treat impotence, a condition in which a man cannot get or keep an erection, but may be able to have sexual activity.
It's also possible that the medication may also help improve sexual desire in men with erectile dysfunction.
"It's very difficult to get to the treatment for what is probably the most common cause of ED," said Lee. "This may be the most important thing to do for men with ED."
The study did not involve the use of medications. It was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, double-dummy, randomized trial of 50,000 men in which the primary endpoint was the change in erectile function from baseline.
The study was conducted by the Cleveland Clinic, a nonprofit organization that provides education and research support to doctors and other health care professionals in the United States.
Dr. Robert J. Hittel, a urologist with Cleveland Clinic, was a clinical researcher in the Cleveland Clinic's department of urology, and he conducted the study as a part of the University of California San Francisco Research Institute.
The study was funded by the National Institutes of Health and was conducted by researchers at the Cleveland Clinic, a Cleveland Clinic Foundation grant, and the University of California, San Francisco.
The Cleveland Clinic is a part of the National Institutes of Health, which is supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health, the National Cancer Institute, and the Food and Drug Administration.
The Cleveland Clinic is not associated with any other pharmaceutical companies, and is not sponsored by any of the companies listed above.
The study's authors noted that the study was conducted in response to a research grant from the National Institutes of Health, which was granted by the U. Food and Drug Administration.
According to Lee, sildenafil was approved for use in the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men between the ages of 18 and 64 years, with the use of other PDE5 inhibitors as the sole treatment for ED in men. It may also be used for other purposes, including in treating the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
J. Michael Sussman, a urologist with the Cleveland Clinic, said, "Viagra and sildenafil are effective treatments for ED. But they are not as effective as other medications like Viagra or sildenafil. So you need to use both."
He added that it was important to treat patients with ED and that the medication has the potential to treat ED in men, not necessarily as the sole cause of ED.
Sussman said, "It is not clear that sildenafil is the treatment of choice for most men."
If a man takes Viagra to treat ED, the medication would only help the man achieve an erection if he is sexually stimulated.
The study's authors noted that sildenafil is not FDA-approved for ED, but the drug was approved for use in the treatment of ED in men between the ages of 18 and 64 years, with the use of other PDE5 inhibitors as the sole treatment for ED in men.

WASHINGTON — Viagra, the blockbuster erectile dysfunction drug touted by many as a miracle drug, has come under fire for its use.
After a new study showed that more than two in five Americans are affected by sexual dysfunction, a growing number of men in the United States are now worried about the drug's side effects.
Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham found that only about three percent of the men taking the drug report difficulty achieving or maintaining erections, and only about 10 percent of those taking the drug say they do not.
The new study, presented Friday at the American Journal of Psychiatry, is the first to quantify the risk of erectile dysfunction and show how well Viagra works.
"We found that men who use Viagra have a much greater risk of sexual dysfunction than those on placebo," said Dr. Susan E. Kasten, a urologist at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. "It is a very important finding, and it is something we hope to continue to examine."
Viagra is the generic version of Pfizer's erectile dysfunction drug, known as sildenafil, which is sold under the brand name Viagra Connect, and the first drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
Viagra is only available with a prescription and can be taken daily, depending on your medical condition and how you respond to the drug.
The researchers analyzed data from more than 2,300 men who used sildenafil to treat erectile dysfunction and found that only about one-quarter reported having sexual difficulties. Half of the men on the drug said they had been taking it for more than a year or more, and nearly two-thirds said they had used it for as long as four months.
The other half of the men on sildenafil had not reported any difficulties, and about one-quarter of the men on the drug said they did not.
"These findings underscore the importance of addressing sexual dysfunction with effective treatments," said Dr. Irwin Goldstein, an obstetrician-gynecologist and urologist at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland. "We hope to continue to examine the connection between erectile dysfunction and sexual dysfunction, but we feel the need to provide further validation on the benefits and risks of using a drug for such an important purpose."
The new study, presented at the American Journal of Psychiatry, is the first to quantify the risk of erectile dysfunction and show how well Viagra works.
"We found that only about three percent of the men on sildenafil report difficulty achieving or maintaining erections, and only about 10 percent of those taking the drug report difficulties with sexual satisfaction," said Dr. Kasten.
The drug is not approved for use in women, men and children.
Viagra may be prescribed in some situations for other health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, or if erectile dysfunction has occurred before, or is a rare condition that can be treated in some cases.
Erectile dysfunction, or ED, is a common problem among men who have sex with men, according to a study by the University of Chicago School of Medicine. The study found that just one in three adults were affected by ED, compared to about one in 20 men. But about one-quarter of those affected were taking sildenafil for longer than six months.
The researchers analyzed data from more than 2,000 patients who had been taking the drug for more than a year or had used it for as long as four months, using data from the FDA-approved drug, Viagra Connect.
The American people have been paying thousands of dollars a year to buy Viagra over the years. They may not realize that the drug is supposed to help treat erectile dysfunction, or also help men get and keep an erection. But, with the growing number of men suffering from erectile dysfunction, it can cause serious health problems, including heart problems, high blood pressure, low cholesterol, and other health issues.
It is estimated that around of Americans will be affected by this drug, and they may even face the same issue every day. There are a variety of other medical conditions that cause erection issues. These include:
