Objective: The aim of this study is to demonstrate the anatomic and physiologic changes in the choroid following systemic sildenafil and tadalafil.
Methods: This cross-sectional randomized study enlisted 20 young and healthy men, who were randomly and equally classified in two groups; group a received 50 mg of Sildenafil, whereas group B received 10 mg of Tadalafil. All participants underwent a measurement of choroidal thickness, based on enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT). The measurement was repeated two hours after the consumption of each PDE-5 inhibitor.
Results: The mean age of participants was 34.2 ± 3.0 and 34.6 ± 3.2 years in group A and B, respectively. The mean values of choroidal thickness (CT) in Group A at baseline were 306.6 ± 11.1 μm.. View More»
