What Pills are Effective for Treatment of Peyronie’s Disease
In general, currently available oral medications that have been shown to help men with Peyronie’s disease have limited effectiveness.
Typically improvement seen with oral medications alone is not sufficient to make a significant improvement in most symptoms of Peyronie’s disease.
Oral medications are best used in combination with other treatment options, in particular, injection therapy.
In my view, the reason to use oral therapies is two-fold:
- It may help some men with pain symptoms caused by Peyronie’s disease. These medications include Cialis and Potaba.
- Prevent the worsening of penile curvature and prevent disease progression: CoQ10 has been suggested to have a beneficial effect. Since it’s a safe supplement, and good for the heart as well, – I recommend it generously.
What Oral Treatments Have No Benefit?
Just as important as knowing what works, it is important to know what does not work.
Colchicine, vitamin E, and tamoxifen do not help with Peyronie’s disease and should not be used for that purpose.
CoQ10 (Co-enzyme Q10) for Peyronie’s
CoQ10 is a non-prescription vitamin/supplement that has been found to have a beneficial effect on Peyronie’s disease.
While the benefit is not tremendous, CoQ10 is very safe; it is inexpensive, and as an added benefit is good for your heart.
It appears that CoQ10 is most likely beneficial to men with new Peyronie’s disease without a hard calcified Peyronie’s plaque. Studies suggest that at the very least CoQ10 helps prevent disease progression and worsening of the curvature and other symptoms of Peyronie’s disease
CoQ10 is a very safe supplement. As a matter of fact, it is also beneficial for the heart and is often recommended supplement by cardiologists.
The typical recommended dose of CoQ10 is 300-600 mg once a day.

Potaba (Aminobenzoate Potassium)
Potaba appears to benefit men with penile pain caused by Peyronie’s disease. Potaba requires a fairly challenging regimen of multiple doses a day. Other options for the treatment of penile pain include tadalafil daily, shockwave therapy, verapamil injections, and interferon injections. We do not prescribe Potaba often.
Pentoxifylline for Peyronie’s disease: What’s the Evidence?
Pentoxifylline has been found to have a beneficial effect on men with Peyronie’s disease in one randomized control study. However, in 2015, the paper was retracted by the authors – apparently statistical analysis was incorrectly done.
At this point there is no data to support that pentoxifylline has a significant beneficial effect on the course of Peyronie’s disease. Mechanism of action of pentoxifylline suggests that it may have a beneficial effect for Peyronie’s.
At this point, I do not advise pentoxifylline for the treatment of men with Peyronie’s disease. Oral therapy for Peyronie’s disease, in general, is not very effective.
