Alprostadil is a medication that men take for ED (erectile dysfunction). It's only available by prescription.
This medication causes the veins to expand. That boosts the bloodstream through the body, including the penis, which helps men with ED have an erection.
You can get alprostadil infused straightforwardly into the penis. You can then utilize it as a suppository, setting it into the opening at the tip of the penis.
Injectable alprostadil is sold beneath the brand names Edex, Caverject, and Prostin VR. The suppository structure is called "Dream" (which represents the Medicated Urethral System for Erection).
Alprostadil should only be utilized in men with erectile dysfunction. If it's not used appropriately, it can forever damage the penis.
How Effective Is It?
The injectable structure causes an erection firm enough for sex in over 80% of men with erectile dysfunction paying little mind to their age or the reason for their ED.
The suppository structure isn't as compelling. It produces an erection in about 30%-40% of men with ED .
How Quickly Will Alprostadil Work?
It, as a rule, begins to work in around 5 to 20 minutes. Hold up 10-30 minutes before you have intercourse. Your erection should keep going for about an hour and may proceed after you ejaculate.
Do not utilize it three times each week. Hold up at least 24 hours between each utilization.
