Abstract
Background Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is defined as the persistent inability to attain or maintain an erection sufficient to achieve satisfactory sexual intercourse and one of the therapeutic options relies on the use of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, such as Sildenafil. The original oral formulation of Sildenafil can be troublesome for patients, because it requires water to take the drug and the patient’s ability to safely swallow the dosage form, so to overcome these drawbacks, an orally disintegrating film (ODF) formulation was developed. Aims To assess the efficacy and safety of Sildenafil ODF formulation in a group of patients with ED who were using the old oral drug formulation (orodispersible tablet, ODT).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
