★Relationship between metformin and ED drugs★

Actually, there is a paper examining the effect of metformin on ED (erectile dysfunction).

It is published in the journal “Journal of Andrology” in October 2011 with the following title.

“Addition of Metformin to Sildenafil treatment for Erectile Dysfunction in eugonadal Non-diabetic men with insulin resistance. A prospective, randomized, double blind pilot study.”

Sildenafil (Viagra) plus metformin was administered to treat ED in eugonadal non-diabetic men with insulin resistance in a prospective, randomized, double-blind study.

In this study, we investigated what happens when metformin is used in addition to Viagra in ED patients with increased insulin resistance but not diabetes. The target patients were randomly divided into the “Viagra and metformin group” and the “Viagra and placebo group” to investigate the effect.

The subjects of this controlled clinical trial were obese, non-diabetic, insulin-resistant people with ED. Those who took metformin significantly improved their ED symptoms and the effects of Viagra compared to those who took placebo.

As with glucobay (acarbose), it is increasingly being used as a weight loss drug.
