A European Union committee has endorsed the use of Eli Lilly and Co.'s erectile dysfunction drug Cialis to treat symptoms tied to an enlarged prostate, according to the Associated Press. The EU’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use recommended approval of Cialis for benign prostatic hyperplasia.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Cialis last fall for the treatment of symptoms of an enlarged prostate. Regulators also have approved the use in Canada, Mexico and Brazil, among other countries. Cialis brought in $1.88 billion last year. Its patents will last until 2017.
