Sildenafil citrate in the management of diabetic erectile dysfunction

The efficacy and safety of sildenafil citrate (Viagra) in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in diabetic men have been investigated in randomised, placebo-controlled trials. In all trials and across all subgroups of patients, sildenafil was associated with improvements in erectile function compared with placebo and side-effects of treatment (mainly headache, flushing and dyspepsia) were mostly transient and mild-to-moderate. Sildenafil is, therefore, concluded to be an effective and well-tolerated treatment for ED in men with diabetes.

Key Words: sildenafil citrate • diabetes mellitus • efficacy • safety.
