Detailed new study shows that Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra do, in fact, work better than hormone treatments for treating erectile dysfunction:
Published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, the new clinical practice guideline finds that for most men who complain of erectile dysfunction, one of the phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors -- sildenafil, tadalafil and vardenafil -- is a more effective treatment than pills, creams, gels or patches containing testosterone.This isn't very surprising, of course. These drugs (so-called PDE5 inhibitors) really work at the plumbing level. They enhance the mechanism the body uses to produce an erection, and so are very effective in producing that result.
