Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study evaluates the retinal and choriocapillary vascular features in patients under the effects of Tadalafil 20mg using optical coherence tomography angiography.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Tadalafil is a an inhibitor of the enzyme phosphodiesterase and it works by increasing blood flow to the penis thus promoting the erection.

This drug represents an treatment for erectile dysfunction in patients after radical prostatectomy.

The optical coherence tomography angiography represents a novel and non-invasive diagnostic technique that allows a detailed and quantitative analysis of retinal and choriocapillary vascular features.

The study evaluates the changes in optical coherence tomography angiography parameters at baseline and after 1, 3, 6 months after the somministration of Tadalafil 20 mg orally.
