title: [Efficacy and safety of vardenafil in men with erectile dysfunction in general clinical practice].
abstract: Since fixed-dose vardenafil clinical trails don't fully represent utilization of phosphodiesterase-5 (PDES) inhibitor in general clinical practice. This article reviews flexible-dose and community practice studies, to assess the efficacy and safety of vardenafil in general clinical practice. The results show that vardenafil improves erectile function in most men treated for ED in clinical practice, and well tolerated.
