metformin and Erectile Dysfunction

metformin has been researched along with Erectile Dysfunction in 10 studies

Metformin: A biguanide hypoglycemic agent used in the treatment of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus not responding to dietary modification. Metformin improves glycemic control by improving insulin sensitivity and decreasing intestinal absorption of glucose. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p289)
metformin : A member of the class of guanidines that is biguanide the carrying two methyl substituents at position 1.

Erectile Dysfunction: The inability in the male to have a PENILE ERECTION due to psychological or organ dysfunction.
