Men with ED also have a preference for a treatment that is time-independent Aim To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tadalafil 20 mg with a dose of one tablet every three days in the treatment of erectile dysfunction among diabetic patients. Material and methods A prospective study was carried out on 22 men with diabetes who were examined with symptoms of erectile dysfunction satisfying the selection criteria at Center for Andrology and Sexual Medicine - VietDuc University Hospital from June 2020 to June 2021. These patients were treated with tadalafil 20 mg once every three days. Results There were 22 patients included in the study, mean age was 52.1 years old. The baseline degree of erectile dysfunction was mainly mild to moderate (accounting for 73%). The average IIEF-5 score before and after treatment was 12.2 and 19.3, respectively.
