Dr. Rassman’s Comment: I want to call your attention to the chart below, which discusses sexual side-effects between these medications and the placebo. To find out the real incidence of the Libido and Erectile Dysfunction problems from this study, you must subtract the placebo numbers. If this is true, the incidence is relatively low.
Limitations of the study, such as early termination leading to small numbers of participants analyzed and technical problems with measurement, lead to unreliable or uninterpretable data.
