Who qualifies for Vitaros
Vitaros (alprostadil) is a topical cream for erectile dysfunction. When you consult with an EU-licensed doctor through Hi-Doctor, they assess your medical history to determine if Vitaros is safe and effective for you. Doctors look for:
- A confirmed diagnosis of erectile dysfunction.
- No known allergies to alprostadil or other ingredients in Vitaros.
- No medical conditions that contraindicate Vitaros use, such as certain heart conditions, blood disorders, or a history of priapism (prolonged erection).
- Compatibility with any other medications you are currently taking.
The doctor's review ensures Vitaros is appropriate for your specific health profile.
What Vitaros actually does (and doesn't do)
Vitaros Cream contains alprostadil, a synthetic version of a naturally occurring substance called prostaglandin E1. When applied to the tip of the penis, alprostadil works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the penile blood vessels. This relaxation increases blood flow into the penis, which helps to achieve and maintain an erection suitable for sexual activity. Effects typically start within 5–30 minutes and can last for 1–2 hours.
Vitaros helps facilitate an erection when there is sexual stimulation; it does not cause an automatic erection without arousal. It is a treatment for the symptoms of ED, not a cure for its underlying causes.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, Vitaros can cause side effects. Common side effects include mild to moderate local discomfort, such as pain, burning, itching, or redness at the application site. Some men may also experience minor penile redness or a sensation of warmth. These are usually temporary and mild.
More serious, though rare, side effects can include dizziness, fainting, or a prolonged erection (priapism) lasting more than four hours. If you experience a prolonged erection, seek immediate medical attention. Always discuss any concerns or pre-existing conditions with your doctor. Stop using Vitaros and contact your doctor if side effects are severe or persistent.
