ED drug Cialis can improve sex after spinal cord injuries
Friday September 14, 2007
The erectile dysfunction drug, Cialis appears to work even
in men with spinal cord injuries, French researchers said.
Erectile dysfunction drug or Impotence often follows spinal
cord injuries. Mostly men are not able to make sex after spinal
cord injuries, only 25% of men with such injuries are capable
of having sex, Dr. Francois Giuliani said.
They found that Cialis can boost sexual desire three times
in men. Their study funded by Eli Lilly and Co, maker of tadalafil
o Cialis .This
study involved 197 men from France, Germany, Italy and Spain
of average age 38 who are suffering from spinal cord injuries.
After a one-month waiting period, in which no one got treatment,
a questionnaire to assess sexual function found both groups
had moderate erectile dysfunction, Giuliano's team reported.
Then 142 men were assigned to the Cialis group and 44 got
a placebo for a 12-week period, taking no more than one pill
daily as needed before sexual activity.
After 4 months, men
taking Cialis were successful nearly half the time they attempted
sexual intercourse, while men in the placebo group succeeded
only 16.8 percent of the time.
Cialis and other ED drugs work
by increasing blood flow in your penis and improve your erection
at the time of sexual intercourse. Researchers said that Viagra
s and Levitra can also improve erections in men with impotence
after spinal cord injury.
