A new study being presented yesterday at the 19th Congress of the European Association of Urology (EAU) in Vienna may give hope to men with erectile dysfunction (ED) who also have depressive symptoms.
The first clinical study to evaluate LEVITRA® (vardenafil HCl) in men with both ED and untreated mild to moderate major depressive disorder (MDD), showed that Levitra significantly improved all measures of erectile function (EF) that were studied compared with placebo.1 Men with ED taking Levitra were nearly three times more likely to report improved erections than men taking placebo.

In addition, some improvements in depression and self-esteem were seen with Levitra compared with placebo. Results from the study, referred to as the DRIVER (Depression Related Improvement with Vardenafil for Erectile Response) trial, are being presented for the first time at EAU.
Research has shown that ED and depression are strongly associated.
2 ED can be a consequence of depression, or ED may result in depression.
3 According to a study of men’s attitudes towards life events and sexuality, 25 percent of men with ED reported symptoms of depression or anxiety.
