Abstract
Our data suggest that there is a possible tachyphylaxis effect with sildenafil. Of the patients who were followed for 2 years 20% had to increase the sildenafil dose to have the same effect and 17% discontinued use due to loss of efficacy.

Results show that sildenafil is a well tolerated and effective oral therapy for male erectile dysfunction with no established organic cause and may represent a new class of peripherally acting drug for the treatment of this condition.

Yohimbine does not appear to be effective for organic erectile dysfunction and, thus, it should not be recommended as treatment for the standard patient, and 3 treatment alternatives are recommended: vacuum constriction devices, vasoactive drug injection therapy and penile prosthesis implantation.

Clinicians should be particularly careful to evaluate patients presenting with ED because the condition can be accompanied by a wide spectrum of risk factors requiring monitoring and treatment, and with adequate treatment and control of these risk factors, the use of sildenafil in a representative population of men with ED in a multispecialty clinic can achieve a higher efficacy rate than previous studies have indicated.

Sildenafil was associated with statistically significant improvement in erectile function compared with placebo and is contraindicated in men who are taking organic nitrates, because of the potential for a precipitous decrease in blood pressure.

Increased circulating levels of angiotensin II, which are encountered during in vivo nitroglycerin treatment, initiate cellular events that ultimately attenuate the nitrogoglyin vasodilator effects during prolonged treatment periods, which strongly suggest that the hemodynamic and anti-ischemic efficacy of organic nitrates is rapidly blunted due to the development of nitrate tolerance.

The use of sildenafil as an effective, orally administered, treatment for diabetic erectile dysfunction is supported and the impairment of NO-mediated relaxation of the corpus cavernosum is suggested to reflect, at least in part, a defect in guanylyl cyclase activity.
