Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors for erectile dysfunction.
The cyclic nucleotide signalling pathway mediates the smooth-muscle relaxing effects of nitric oxide necessary for normal erectile function. Down-regulation of this pathway is central to the pathophysiology of many forms of erectile dysfunction (ED), which is often associated with other chronic diseases (e.g. hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus) and treatments (e.g. certain drugs, radical pr...
متن کاملUpdate on the Safety of Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Inhibitors for the Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction.
INTRODUCTION Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5Is) have demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). Although historically found to have limited drug-related adverse events, emerging data have suggested that PDE5Is might be associated with melanoma or recurrence of prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy. AIM To summarize the literature on the safety of PDE5...
متن کاملAn update on pharmacological treatment of erectile dysfunction with phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors.
INTRODUCTION Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5-i) are used for the oral treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). Since the launch of sildenafil more than 15 years ago, new molecules have become available. At present, in addition to tadalafil and vardenafil, there are three other drugs, udenafil, avanafil and mirodenafil, marketed in some countries which appear to be promising. AREAS CO...
متن کاملPreference for and adherence to oral phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors in the treatment of erectile dysfunction
Sildenafil was the first orally administered phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor approved for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Its successful introduction into clinical practice was soon followed by the launch of two other phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors: vardenafil and tadalafil. The plethora of choices made the question "which PDE-5 inhibitor?" relevant for patients and clinicians. Despite the...
متن کاملUse of Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Inhibitors for Erectile Dysfunction and Risk of Malignant Melanoma.
IMPORTANCE The target for the oral erectile dysfunction drugs, phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, is part of a pathway implicated in the development of malignant melanoma. An increased risk of melanoma in sildenafil users was recently reported. OBJECTIVE To examine the association between use of PDE5 inhibitors and melanoma risk, including data on specific PDE5 inhibitors, number of ...
