Who qualifies for Alprostadil

Hi-Doctor's EU-licensed doctors review each case individually to determine if Alprostadil is the right treatment for you. They look for specific criteria, including your medical history, current health status, and any existing conditions. Alprostadil is typically prescribed for erectile dysfunction when other oral medications are unsuitable or ineffective. Your doctor will assess:

  • Your full medical history, including cardiovascular health.
  • Any current medications you are taking.
  • The nature and severity of your erectile dysfunction.
  • Potential contraindications or risks associated with Alprostadil use.

The doctor will ensure Alprostadil is safe and appropriate for your specific situation before issuing a prescription.

What Alprostadil actually does (and doesn't do)

Alprostadil helps you achieve and maintain an erection by increasing blood flow to the penis. It's a synthetic form of prostaglandin E1, a natural substance that relaxes smooth muscles and widens blood vessels. This localized action means it works directly where it's needed, often within 5-30 minutes of application, lasting for about 1-2 hours depending on the form.

What Alprostadil doesn't do is treat the underlying causes of erectile dysfunction. It's a symptomatic treatment, meaning it helps manage the condition but doesn't cure it. It also doesn't provide spontaneous erections; you still need sexual stimulation for the medication to be effective. Alprostadil is available as an injectable (e.g., Caverject, Edex) or a topical cream (e.g., Vitaros), offering different administration methods tailored to your preference and the doctor's recommendation.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Alprostadil can have side effects. Common side effects include pain, burning, or discomfort at the application or injection site, and redness. You might also experience mild dizziness. These are usually temporary.

However, it's crucial to be aware of more serious, though rare, side effects and to seek immediate medical attention if they occur:

  • Priapism: An erection lasting longer than 4 hours. This is a medical emergency and requires immediate intervention to prevent permanent damage.
  • Penile fibrosis: The development of scar tissue in the penis, which can cause penile curvature or pain.
  • Hypotension: A significant drop in blood pressure.

Always follow your doctor's instructions carefully regarding dosage and administration. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, or if Alprostadil does not produce the desired effect, stop use and consult your doctor through the private chat in your Hi-Doctor account.
