No Clear Winner for Erectile Dysfunctions

Men who suffer from erectile dysfunction have a number of treatment options including Viagra, Cialis and Levitra. Each TV commercial makes it seem as if the drug being advertised is the answer to the problem. Which drug is really best? A new report from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality says there are not enough data to determine a clear winner. What is clear is that men taking any of these drugs do better than men who are not taking ED medication. They all had similar side effects such as headache, runny nose, flushing or stomachache. Comparative effectiveness research may yield a victor in the future.
