Nebido® is not indicated to treat erectile dysfunction. Standard therapy for the treatment of erectile dysfunction are oral phosphodiesterase type 5-inhibitors (PDE5i; such as Viagra®, Cialis®, Levitra®). Nebido® restores sexual desire, i.e., it increases libido, and has a positive effect on erectile function in cases of testosterone deficiency. Lack of libido is only one symptom of hypogonadism. Further signs are: fatigue, concentration problems, changes in body composition (muscle breakdown/increase in fat).17 In order to determine the cause of sexual dysfunction, a thorough medical examination is required. However, it has also been shown that a certain threshold level of testosterone may be necessary for the full effect of ED medications. This threshold level might vary greatly between patients.
