Abstract: Use of vardenafil or a pharmaceutical composition thereof in the preparation of a medicament for the curative, palliative or prophylactic treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods of treating non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance, Syndrome X, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic cardiomyopathy, polycystic ovary syndrome, cataracts, hyperglycemia, or impaired glucose tolerance, the methods comprising the step of administering to a patient having or at risk of having non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance, Syndrome X, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic cardiomyopathy, polycystic ovary syndrome, cataracts, hyperglycemia, or impaired glucose tolerance a synergistic amount of: 1) a sulfonylurea, a non-sulfonylurea K+ ATP channel blocker, or a sulfonylurea and a non-sulfonylurea K+ ATP channel blocker; and 2) a cAMP phosphodiesterase type 3 inhibitor.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods of increasing efficacy of treatment with growth hormone secretagogues, prodrugs thereof and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of said secretagogues and said prodrugs, for patients who have normal or above normal levels of testosterone. The present invention also provides methods of reducing the therapeutic doses of such compounds in such patients.
