American FDA Gives Cialis The OK For BHP

Cialis, the longer lasting erectile dysfunction medication has now been approved for use in America for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). To put that in normal language BPH is an enlarged prostate which many older men suffer from. In fact according to the American National Institutes of Health over 50 percent of 60 year old men and around 90 percent of those in their seventies and eighties suffer from the symptoms of BPH.

The Food and Drug Administration approval which has been expected for some time specifically means that Cialis can be prescribed not only as an erectile dysfunction treatment but also for men with BPH which can lead to incontinence and urinary tract infections.
Since many men suffering from BPH also suffer from erectile dysfunction this new FDA approval will be extremely welcome for them. It is also worth noting that for many men in America their health insurance plans do not cover erectile dysfunction medication however they will now be able to get a prescription for Cialis if they can show that they are suffering from BPH, and the great thing is that Cialis as well as being a treatment for BPH has amazing side effects which many men will appreciate!!
Mr. Scott Munro speaking on behalf of the division of reproductive and urologic products of the FDA Center for Drug Evaluation and Research explained that BPH was often extremely detrimental to the quality of life of men and that the use of Cialis would enable many men to live a normal life. As always with the FDA before approval was forthcoming extensive studies were done which proved than men using Cialis on a daily basis had significantly improved BPH symptoms when compared to those men who were given a placebo tablet.
Eli Lilly should expect significantly improved sales of Cialis as a result of this new approval and this will help it in its quest to knock Viagra of the number one spot and get Cialis to become the world’s best selling erectile dysfunction medication.
