A new study is showing that a drug for treating high cholesterol, rosuvastatin, may help people who already suffer from type 2 diabetes have a better chance of getting an erection.
The study, published in theJournal of the American Medical Associationis testing whether a drug called rosuvastatin, used to treat high cholesterol, could help people with diabetes who also have high blood pressure. The drug is being sold under the brand name Crestor, and is being prescribed for people who have high blood pressure and have diabetes.
The study was presented at the American College of Physicians conference on Tuesday, but it has not yet been published.
"The study is important because it shows that the addition of rosuvastatin to a healthy diet for patients with type 2 diabetes can have the most beneficial effect on improving their blood pressure and erections," Dr. Michael S. Johnson, the study's lead author and a professor of pharmacy medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, said in a news release. "The results support the idea that rosuvastatin can help people with diabetes who have high blood pressure and diabetes who have diabetes and not be treated with a diet that is high in fat."
The drug works by blocking the enzyme that is responsible for causing the narrowing of blood vessels. In the study, participants taking a diet high in high fat were better able to achieve an erection. The study was published in the journal.
The Food and Drug Administration has not approved of rosuvastatin for the treatment of diabetes. S. G. Johnson, a professor of pharmacy medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, said in the release that the study is "a very important part of our future research and development efforts."

I have been on Crestor (atorvastatin) for over a decade. I have tried many different statins, and it has helped me tremendously. I don't have any serious liver disease at all, but the most I can think of is this. My cholesterol is normal and has not gone up dramatically enough to make me a good candidate for statin therapy. I have been taking this for several months now, but I have been unable to stop my cholesterol at all, and my liver enzymes are not working well. I have been given a prescription for Crestor (atorvastatin) but I have never used it. I am on Zocor (rosuvastatin), I am taking another statin, and the best I can do is to take a pill, and I would like to try something different, but I have a very bad case of E. Coli, and the only one that has worked well for me is Zocor. I have been on Zocor for over 3 months now, and it is not helping me to stay on the Crestor. I do not know what to do. I have been on Zocor for a year and a half, and have never felt a difference in my liver. I have a small but significant liver problem, and I have never felt a difference in the liver, nor the heart, nor the blood vessels that my liver can travel. I have done a blood test, and it does not seem to be showing anything for me. I will probably do some other blood tests, but I would like to try something different. I would like to try something different. I am on Zocor and I have never felt a difference in my liver, nor the heart, nor the blood vessels that my liver can travel. I have never felt a difference in the heart, nor the blood vessels that my heart can travel. I am on Zocor and I have never felt a difference in the liver, nor the heart, nor the blood vessels that my heart can travel. I have been on Zocor for a year and a half, and I am still having problems with the liver. I would like to try something different, but I would like to try something different. I have tried Zocor to stop my cholesterol from going up in the blood, and I have not felt any difference. I have tried to take another statin, and the result is the same. I am also taking Zocor and I have never felt a difference. I have not experienced any problems with my liver, nor have any problems with the heart. I have also been taking this other statin and it is working well for me.
I took this drug last summer, and after my blood work came back positive, the doctor said it could make you very sick. I got a prescription, and after several months, I am going to try this again. It seems to be working well, but I'm hoping that my liver doesn't start to get worse. I am hoping that it is not making me sick again. I have taken this medicine in the past, but my liver hasn't made it, so I haven't had any side effects, but I'm just not sure I can tolerate the medication. I have been taking this drug for about 6 months now, and my liver doesn't make it. I also take Zocor regularly, and it is working well, but it has made my liver go away. I do not have any side effects, except the side effect of stomach problems. I am taking a different statin and it does not seem to be helping my liver. I am still having some trouble with my liver, but I'm not sure how to make it better. I am on a 5 mg/day dose, and it does not seem to be helping, I am still feeling a little anxious. I am taking Zocor to try to stop the cholesterol from going up, and it has made my liver work better, but it has not worked.
