THE VIAGRA TESTSThe tests on Viagra (sildenafil) were no different. In the first human trial of the drug, a dozen men in England who were experiencing ED took it three times a day for a week. The results were extremely encouraging but researchers had to pose some realistic questions: Does anyone really want to take a pill three times daily? And who could afford such a costly treatment? Another short trial was begun. This time, the dozen men took a single dose every day. Remarkably, ten of them showed positive results, and the researchers concluded that the drug was “a well-tolerated and efficacious oral therapy and represents a new class of peripherally acting drugs for the treatment of this condition.” Phase II drug trials spread beyond the west of England to other parts of the United Kingdom, as well as France and Sweden. In one study, forty-two men, between the ages of thirty-four and seventy, all of whom had experienced ED for at least three years, were divided into two groups. Half took Viagra in 25, 50, or 75 mg doses daily while the others received a placebo. Later, the two groups switched pills. After twenty-eight days, more than 90 percent of the men reported significantly improved sexual performance. This was confirmed by the answers they provided on detailed sexual activity questionnaires. Not only were they filled out by the men taking part in the study, they were answered by their partners as well. It turned out that the men who experienced profound improvement had been taking Viagra. *35\183\8* Related Posts:Tags: Men’s Health Leave OneYou must be logged in to post a comment. |
