NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE) today announced the publication of a clinical study in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry showing comparable sexual function in adult patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD) treated daily with PRISTIQ Extended Release Tablets 50mg and 100mg doses versus placebo. Sexual dysfunction is often an issue for patients treated with antidepressants, and Pfizer conducted the study pursuant to a postmarketing requirement by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
“Sexual dysfunction is a common concern for patients treated with antidepressants. This study showed that sexual function was comparable between desvenlafaxine and placebo,” said Dr. Anita Clayton, interim chair, Department of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia Health System, and lead investigator of the study. “The low potential for sexual dysfunction with desvenlafaxine is encouraging, and physicians and patients would benefit from further study.”
