Objective: The objective of this post hoc analysis was to evaluate tadalafil, a treatment indicated for erectile dysfunction (ED), in men on antidepressants.

Method: A retrospective, pooled analysis of 19 double-blind, placebo-controlled trials (N = 3864) identified 205 men with ED, mean age of 55 years (range, 27-79 years) receiving antidepressants and tadalafil 10 mg (n = 38), tadalafil 20 mg (n = 113), or placebo (n = 54). Efficacy was measured by the International Index of Erectile Function erectile function domain score, the Sexual Encounter Profile diary, and a Global Assessment Question.
