Who qualifies for Alprostadil

When you seek an Alprostadil prescription online, the EU-licensed doctor reviews your medical history carefully. They look for specific criteria to ensure Alprostadil Cream (Vitaros) is safe and effective for you. This includes your general health, any existing medical conditions (especially heart disease or blood pressure issues), and a list of all medications you currently take to avoid harmful interactions. Alprostadil is typically prescribed for adult men experiencing erectile dysfunction who may not be suitable for oral ED medications. The doctor ensures there are no contraindications that would make Alprostadil unsafe for your specific situation. The doctor will assess if Alprostadil is the appropriate treatment for your specific case.

What Alprostadil actually does (and doesn't do)

Alprostadil Cream (Vitaros) is a topical treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED). It works by increasing blood flow to the penis, helping you achieve and maintain an erection suitable for sexual activity. Applied directly, it helps relax the smooth muscles and dilate blood vessels locally. You typically apply it a few minutes before sexual activity, and its effects can last for up to two hours. It does not cure erectile dysfunction, but rather provides a temporary solution when needed. It does not affect libido or provide instant results without sexual stimulation. Always have realistic expectations about the medication's effects.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Alprostadil Cream (Vitaros) can cause side effects. Common side effects include mild pain, burning, or redness at the application site. You might also experience dizziness or a slight drop in blood pressure. These are usually temporary and mild. Always read the patient leaflet for a full list of side effects. You should stop using Alprostadil and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe pain, a prolonged erection (priapism lasting more than 4 hours), or signs of an allergic reaction like rash or swelling. Your Hi-Doctor physician will advise you on what to look for.
