Partners, too, give thumbs up to Levitra

Levitra not only enables men with erectile dysfunction (ED) to engage successfully in sexual intercourse, it also significantly improves partner satisfaction.

“I think that over the years, trials of erectile dysfunction have not attributed enough consideration to the couple component. Our new trial shows that successful therapy for erectile dysfunction with Levitra benefits both partners,” Dr. David Edwards said at the meeting here of the European Urology Association.

To further examine this aspect of treatment, Edwards of White House Surgery, Chipping Norton, UK, and his colleagues randomly assigned 260 men with erectile dysfunction to Levitra or an inactive “placebo” pill. Every 4 weeks over the 12-week study, the men completed questionnaires relating to effectiveness, and they and their partners answered questions about treatment satisfaction.

The investigators found that Levitra treatment was associated with an 81 percent improvement in erections compared to 30 percent with placebo.

When the effects of treatment for men and their partners were considered, Levitra significantly improved satisfaction scores compared with placebo in six areas:

• orgasm satisfaction (60 percent vs 32 percent for men, 56 percent vs 32 percent for partners),

• confidence (62 percent vs 34 percent for men; 59 percent vs 30 percent for women),

• pleasure (67 percent vs 44 percent for men; 64 percent vs 38 percent for partners),

• ease of erection (64 percent vs 41 percent for men and 60 vs 37 percent for partners),

• satisfaction with erection (60 percent vs 28 percent for men; 58 percent vs 27 percent for partners)

• satisfaction with the medication (62 percent vs 31 percent for men; 58 percent vs 30 percent for partners).

“Both men and partners expressed a considerable and mutually agreed level of treatment satisfaction,” Edwards concluded.
