ABSTRACT
The oral drug treatment for the erectile sexual dysfunction is revised, explaining the need of achieving more effective drugs, making an historical account of such treatment modality and making clear the actual problems that exist in the evaluation of drugs for the oral treatment of erectile sexual dysfunction. The actual strategies for the treatment of the affection mentioned are updated, and finally, a peer-reviewed exposition is made of the clinical essays performed up to now, of the erectogenic drugs classified by pharmacological groups (dopaminergic agonists, b adrenergic antagonists, b adrenergic agonists, serotoninergics, colinergics, phosphodiesterease inhibitors, nitrous oxide precursors, prostanoids an hormones).
