Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate if treatment in erectile dysfunction with a long-acting drug (Tadalafil) taken once a day or taken as needed results in a longer treatment adherence and better long term outcomes (over 24 weeks), compared with a short-acting drug (Sildenafil Citrate) taken as needed.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Time to Discontinuation of Randomized Treatment
Time Frame: Baseline up to 334 days
Time to discontinuation of randomized treatment was defined as the number of days from randomization until the day the participant discontinued the randomized treatment. Discontinuation of randomized treatment was defined as switching between the 3 study treatments (tadalafil on demand, tadalafil once a day, or sildenafil citrate on demand) or discontinuing from all treatments. A change of dose within the same treatment was not considered switching of treatment. This outcome measure was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier product-limit method.
