Tadalafil improves symptoms associated with BPH
Findings from a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study are consistent with previously reported data showing that tadalafil (Cialis) improves lower urinary tract symptoms associated with BPH. However, the benefit cannot be explained by effects on pressure-flow urodynamics, researchers reported at the European Association of Urology annual congress.
The prospective study randomized 200 men to treatment with tadalafil, 20 mg, or placebo once daily for 12 weeks. At baseline and study completion, patients underwent urodynamics studies and completed International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) questionnaires.
