However, because almost all patients prefer oral drug therapy, oral drugs are used unless they are contraindicated or not tolerated. Oral phosphodiesterase inhibitors selectively inhibit cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cgmp)–specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (pde5), the predominant phosphodiesterase isomer in the penis. These drugs include sildenafil, vardenafil, avanafil, and tadalafil (see table oral phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors for erectile dysfunction oral phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors for.
