Once-Daily Udenafil Safely Improves Erectile Function: ESSM-ISSM

[Guest guest]

Once-a-day dosing with the new

phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor udenafil is well tolerated and

significantly improves erectile function over placebo in men with

erectile dysfunction (ED), according to research presented here at the

Joint Congress of the European and International Societies for Sexual

Medicine (ESSM-ISSM). Kim Kangwon, MD, Private Urological

Clinics, MenPower Urologic Clinical Network, Kwang Ju, South Korea,

presented this analysis of a multicentre, randomised, double-blind,

placebo-controlled study on December 9. The aim of the study was to

investigate the efficacy and safety of once-a-day dosing of udenafil in

men with ED.

"The chemical structure of udenafil is

similar to [sildenafil]," said Dr. Kangwon, "but, because of a chemical

change, it has increased selectivity, potency, and pH solubility."Click on the below link for the full story:<http://www.docguide.com/news/content.nsf/news/852571020057CCF68525751B0069C1E0>
