IN GEWONE TAAL

Wat Vitaros is en hoe u een behandeling krijgt

Alprostadil is een kopie van prostaglandine E1, een stof die het lichaam zelf maakt en die bloedvaten verwijdt. Anders dan de tabletten wordt het rechtstreeks op de penis toegepast: als crème op de top, als injectie in de zijkant van de schacht of als een klein korreltje in de urinebuis. Zo werkt het rechtstreeks op de bloedvaten. Het is in EU-landen sinds 1994 als injectie en sinds 2014 als crème goedgekeurd tegen erectiestoornissen. Omdat het plaatselijk werkt, zijn de belangrijkste bijwerkingen ook plaatselijk: een branderig gevoel, pijn of roodheid op de plaats van toepassing en zelden een erectie die te lang aanhoudt en dringend medische hulp vereist.

Vitaros is sinds 29 november 1994 toegelaten voor gebruik in de EU. Een bevoegde arts kan het daarom voorschrijven wanneer het medisch geschikt voor u is.

Kan ik het krijgen?

Ja, als een arts bepaalt dat het geschikt voor u is. Vitaros is goedgekeurd in de EU en kan na een medische beoordeling worden voorgeschreven.

WAT HET IS

Hoe het werkt

Alprostadil is a man-made copy of a natural body chemical (prostaglandin E1) that is applied to or injected into the penis, where it widens the blood vessels directly so blood flows in.

BENOEMDE VEILIGHEIDSSIGNALEN

Wat bij Vitaros is gemeld.

Application-site burning, penile pain and redness (cream)

Penile burning, penile pain, penile erythema, genital pain and genital discomfort are all listed as common in the EU product information for alprostadil 3 mg/g cream. In the clinical trial the withdrawal rate was 30% in the 300 microgram group compared with 20% in the 200 microgram group.

Injection-site pain (intracavernosal)

Penile pain is listed as very common in the EU product information for alprostadil injection. In the six-month self-injection study, usually mild penile pain occurred in 50% of men at some time but after only 11% of injections.

Prolonged erection and priapism (intracavernosal)

In the EU product information for alprostadil injection, a prolonged erection lasting 4 to 6 hours developed in 4% of patients and priapism (a painful erection lasting more than 6 hours) in 0.4%. In the six-month self-injection study, prolonged erections occurred in 5% of men and priapism in 1%.

Prolonged erection and priapism (cream)

Listed as uncommon in the EU product information for alprostadil cream. Priapism was seen in 1 patient (0.06%) across the two 3-month studies and in 5 patients (0.4%) in the study lasting more than 6 months. An erection lasting more than 4 hours needs immediate medical help, because untreated priapism can permanently damage erectile tissue.

Penile fibrosis (intracavernosal)

Penile fibrosis, including angulation, fibrotic nodules and Peyronie's disease, was reported in 3% of clinical-trial patients in the EU product information for alprostadil injection, rising to about 8% in a self-administration study of up to 18 months. Injection-site haematoma was reported by 3% and bruising by 2%.

Dizziness and fainting

In the phase 3 cream studies, symptomatic low blood pressure (dizziness) and fainting occurred in 0.4%, 0.4% and 0.5% of patients on the 100, 200 and 300 microgram doses. Patients are advised not to drive or do hazardous tasks until they know how they react.

Effects on a female partner

Vulvovaginal burning and vaginitis are listed as common reactions in female partners in the EU product information for alprostadil cream.

Penile pain (intraurethral)

In the transurethral pivotal trial, mild penile pain was the most common side effect, occurring after 10.8% of treatments; in-clinic low blood pressure occurred in 3.3% of men, and no man had priapism or penile fibrosis.

Over de behandeling

Wat is Vitaros?

Vitaros bevat de werkzame stof alprostadil.

Werkzame stof: Alprostadil · Doseringen: Cream 3 mg/g on demand

Alprostadil is a prostaglandin E1 that directly dilates the blood vessels of the penis. It's considered when oral PDE5 inhibitors are ineffective or contraindicated.

It's administered as a urethral cream or an intracavernous injection, under medical instruction — each route has its own efficacy and tolerability profile. Correct technique matters, and the doctor explains the protocol and the warning signs.

HOE HET WERKT

Wat Vitaros in je lichaam doet

Rather than blocking an enzyme, alprostadil acts directly on the penile blood vessels, dilating them locally — no PDE5 pathway involved, so it can work where oral options don't.

  1. A copy of prostaglandin E1

    Alprostadil is chemically identical to prostaglandin E1, a signalling substance the body already makes. It is not swallowed. It is placed into or onto the penis itself, so it acts on the erectile tissue at the site rather than circulating through the whole body first.

  2. Cavernosal muscle relaxes

    The drug relaxes the smooth muscle of the corpora cavernosa, the two spongy cylinders that run the length of the penis, and widens the cavernosal arteries feeding them. Blood flow into the erectile tissue rises, and that increase in flow is what produces rigidity.

  3. It does not need arousal

    Because it acts on the tissue directly, alprostadil does not depend on the nitric oxide signal that sexual stimulation produces. In clinic testing it created erections on its own. That is the core difference from tablets, and it is also why an erection can outlast the encounter.

IN HET DAGELIJKS GEBRUIK

Vitaros in het dagelijks gebruik

  1. Get shown the technique first

    Every form of alprostadil has to be demonstrated by a medical professional before you use it yourself. For the injection and the urethral pellet the first doses are given or supervised in a clinic, not at home, and that step cannot be skipped.

  2. Empty your bladder first

    Urinate before using the cream or the pellet. A moist urethra helps the medicine dissolve and spread. Do not urinate straight after the cream, because the dose can be washed out before it has had time to work.

  3. Cream sits at the opening

    Roll the single-dose container between your hands to warm it, hold the penis upright and squeeze the tip to widen the opening. Place the container at the opening without inserting it, push all the cream in, then hold the penis upright for about 30 seconds.

  4. Pellet needs a stretch and roll

    For the urethral pellet, stretch the penis upward to its full length, insert the applicator, press the button and withdraw it. Then roll the penis between your hands for at least 10 seconds so the medicine coats the urethral wall.

  5. Stand or walk for ten minutes

    After the pellet, sit or preferably stand or walk for about 10 minutes while the erection develops. An erection usually appears 5 to 10 minutes after the pellet and lasts roughly 30 to 60 minutes. The cream works in 5 to 30 minutes.

  6. Injections rotate side and site

    The injection goes into the upper side of the penis, along the third nearest the body, avoiding visible veins. Change both the side and the exact spot each time. Never straighten or reuse a bent needle, because needles can break.

  7. Use a condom if pregnancy is possible

    A condom is required if your partner is pregnant or could become pregnant, and it also reduces vaginal irritation, which is a reported reaction. Only latex condoms have been tested with the cream. Alprostadil is not a contraceptive and does not prevent infection.

  8. Respect the frequency limits

    The cream is used at most 2 to 3 times a week and once in 24 hours. Injections are at most once a day and three times a week. The pellet is at most 2 doses in 24 hours and 7 in 7 days.

GENEESMIDDEL OF STOFWAT ER KAN GEBEURENWAT DE ARTS DOET
PDE5 inhibitor tablets (sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil)Never studied together; both act on blood vessels, so cardiovascular risk could add upNot used together; the prescriber keeps you on one treatment at a time
Other injected erection agents (papaverine, phentolamine, thymoxamine)Raises the risk of priapism, a painful prolonged abnormal erectionNot combined; alprostadil is prescribed on its own
Blood pressure medicines and other vasodilatorsBlood pressure can fall further, and the risk is higher in older menPrescribed with caution, with clear warning about dizziness and fainting
Anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, heparin)More bleeding after an injection, and more urethral bleeding or blood in the urinePrescriber weighs the bleeding risk and may rule out the injected route
Sympathomimetics, decongestants and appetite suppressantsMay reduce the effect of alprostadil, so a working dose can seem to failPrescriber reviews the full medicine list before changing any dose

Wat de klinische onderzoeken lieten zien

In the two New England Journal of Medicine programmes that registered these products, the MUSE Study Group trial of the urethral pellet and the Alprostadil Study Group trials of intracavernosal injection, both routes produced erections firm enough for intercourse in most men who had first responded to a supervised test dose.

Bron: Efficacy and safety of intracavernosal alprostadil in men with erectile dysfunction (Alprostadil Study Group)

These are group averages from trials, not a forecast for any one person. Both routes were screened in clinic first, and the home figures describe only the men who had already responded to that supervised test dose, so they read better than the result an unselected group would get. The European Association of Urology also records that 41% to 68% of men stop intracavernous injections, most within the first two to three months, and that only about 30% stay on the urethral pellet long term, which is a fair reminder that tolerating a treatment matters as much as its measured efficacy.

TOEGANG EN KOSTEN

Vitaros krijgen en wat het kost

Alprostadil is prescription-only in every EU country and no form of it is sold over the counter anywhere. Which form you can actually obtain varies a lot, so each row was read off that country's own medicines register rather than inferred from the EU-wide picture. The registers do not all publish the same thing: Spain, Portugal and Belgium record a marketing status per product, so those rows describe what is genuinely on sale, while Germany and Austria publish only whether an authorisation is currently valid, so their rows describe which forms are registered rather than which a pharmacy is stocking this week. Poland registers no alprostadil product for erectile dysfunction at all. The linked database is the current authority in every case.
