The FDA has approved a generic version of Pfizer's erectile dysfunction drug, Viagra.
A spokesperson for Pfizer Inc. said, "Pfizer has made significant progress with its drug Viagra and continues to work closely with the U. S. Food and Drug Administration and regulatory agencies worldwide to address the safety and efficacy issues associated with its formulation."
Pfizer said it is working on a generic version of the drug. The company was not authorized to comment on the FDA approval of Viagra.
The approval was based on the results of an independent study that compared the drug with a placebo. The study found that men taking Viagra had a statistically significant increase in the amount of blood flow to the penis compared with men not taking the drug.
The FDA also approved Pfizer's Viagra products, called Propecia and Finasteride, as well as generic versions of the drug, called Proscar and Viagra, as well as the brand name version of the drug.
The FDA approved the generic versions of the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra and Proscar in May 2011.
The company said it will update its website and website, which is part of a broader effort by Pfizer Inc. to better understand how the drugs work, what they're used for, and their side effects.
For now, the approval is based on the results of a clinical trial that looked at a group of patients who had had erectile dysfunction before taking Viagra. The study, which involved 17,281 men, compared the drugs with and without sexual activity, and found that the drug helped men achieve a more satisfactory erection.
According to the report published in theNew England Journal of Medicine, men who had erectile dysfunction before taking Viagra had a 50% higher success rate compared with those who took the placebo.
Pfizer, which makes the products, said it was taking the study results and will update the company with a new, independent drug review.

In a study of men taking Viagra, a man in a middle age was about 50% more likely to have erectile dysfunction than those taking a placebo. That's a big improvement from Viagra.
Viagra is a prescription drug that treats erectile dysfunction in men by increasing blood flow to the penis. It can also improve sexual function by helping men achieve and maintain an erection when sexually aroused.
Originally Published: February 7, 2012 at 1:48 PM ESTViagra works by inhibiting an enzyme called PDE5, which is responsible for breaking down cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). cGMP causes the smooth muscles in blood vessels to relax. Viagra works by blocking PDE5, which allows cGMP to accumulate and cause blood flow to the penis.
