Use of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors by college students.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to identify the use of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors among university students from the city of Sao Paulo (SP) in Brazil. Male students (n=350) replied to a questionnaire about diagnosis of erectile dysfunction, the frequency and reason for the use of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, the specific medication used, whether their use was accompanied by a medical prescription and any reported side-effects. The results shows that a total of 53 (14.7%) students had already used this kind of medication without a prescription or medical diagnosis for erectile dysfunction, of which 53% reported using sildenafil, 37% tadalafil and 10% vardenafil. The main adverse side-effects reported were headache (23%) and flushing (10%) and the main reasons for using the inhibitor were curiosity (70%) and erectile improvement (12%).

El objetivo del estudio fue identificar el uso de inhibidores de la fosfodiesterasa-5 por estudiantes universitarios de la ciudad de Sao Paulo (SP), en 2006. Alumnos del sexo masculino (n=360) respondieron un cuestionario sobre el diagnóstico de disfunción eréctil, frecuencia e motivo del uso, medicamento utilizado, existencia de prescripción medica y descripción de efectos adversos. Los resultados mostraron que 53 (14,7%) de los alumnos ya habían utilizado esos medicamentos, de los cuales 53% señalaron uso de sildenafila, 37% tadalafila y 10% vardenafila, adquiridos sin prescripción medica o diagnóstico de disfunción eréctil. Los principales efectos adversos mencionados fueron cefalea (23%) y enrojecimiento facial (10%), y las principales motivaciones para su uso fueron la curiosidad (70%) y potenciación de la erección (12%).
