LUTS, BPH and ED
March 11, 2014
It may sound like alphabet soup
but these related conditions affect
one in six men over the age of 40
years.
Pharmacists are being reminded
by Eli Lilly that their erectile
dysfunction (ED) treatment, Cialis
(tadalafil) 5mg, is the only such
therapy also approved for once
daily treatment of moderate
to severe lower urinary tract
symptoms (LUTS) associated with
benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
While ED and LUTS are individual
in nature, said Lilly, they often coexist
with around half of men over
50 with LUTS also reporting ED.
Dr Peter Sutherland, head of
urology at Royal Adelaide Hospital,
said, “The ability to treat both
ED and LUTS with Cialis 5mg
once-a-day is a major advantage,
as these conditions can have a
profound impact on a man’s life
... significantly improving men’s
confidence and self esteem.”
In addition to Cialis 5mg for oncedaily
treatment, Cialis On-Demand,
available as a 10mg or 20mg dose,
also remains patent protected and
is unaffected by the availability of
generic sildenafil.
