We evaluated the percent of subsequent successful doses with vardenafil 20 mg after an initial vardenafil response. In this double-blind, multicenter study, 573 men with erectile dysfunction (ED) for more than 6 months were challenged with a single dose of vardenafil 20 mg; those achieving successful penetration were randomized ran·dom·ize

Of 573 men, 81% achieved successful penetration with the challenge dose and were randomized to vardenafil 01 = 230) or placebo (n = 233). Most men had severe (34%) or moderate (35%) ED, and many had comorbid conditions, such as hypertension hypertension or high blood pressure, elevated blood pressure resulting from an increase in the amount of blood pumped by the heart or from increased resistance to the flow of blood through the small arterial blood vessels (arterioles). , dyslipidemia, and diabetes. Following initial success, mean per-patient penetration reliability rate for vardenafil over Weeks 0-12 was 85% vs. 45% for placebo. Seventy percent also achieved initial successful completion of intercourse with the challenge dose. Following initial success of intercourse completion, the mean per-patient intercourse completion reliability rate for vardenafil over Weeks 0-12 was 78% vs. 29% for placebo. Vardenafil was generally well-tolerated. Overall, vardenafil provided reliable efficacy for patients with ED, on first-time dosing as well as on further occasions.
