Description
Alprostadil 500 mcg/mL Injection is a prescription medication containing Alprostadil 500 micrograms/mL, a prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) analog indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. It is administered by intracavernosal injection and works by relaxing smooth muscle and dilating blood vessels within the penis, increasing blood flow to help achieve and maintain an erection.
Unlike oral ED medications, alprostadil acts directly at the site of injection and does not require the same mechanism of action as phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. The medication is generally administered shortly before sexual activity, with the dosage carefully individualized and adjusted by a healthcare provider based on treatment response and tolerability.
Alprostadil 500 mcg/mL Injection should only be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional. Patients should receive proper training on injection technique before self-administration. Inform your healthcare provider about your medical history, particularly if you have bleeding disorders, penile anatomical abnormalities, sickle cell disease, leukemia, multiple myeloma, or other conditions that may increase the risk of complications. Seek immediate medical attention for an erection lasting longer than four hours (priapism).
