“Disorders of prostate enlargement can have a major impact on quality of life ofpatients,” said Scott Monroe, director of the division of reproductive and urologicproducts the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, as quoted fromHealthDay, Friday (07/10/2011).

Monroe said that most older people have symptoms of prostate enlargement and drugCialis may help overcome this problem, especially in men who also have erectile dysfunction.
