Overview of Vitaros Cream (Alprostadil)

Alprostadil

Alprostadil is the active ingredient that is used in Vitaros. It is a medication that is used to treat erectile dysfunction that belongs to a class of medications known as prostaglandins - specifically prostaglandin E1 (PGE1). Prostaglandins are naturally occurring compounds that play many roles in the human body including in inflammation and blood flow in a blood vessel. Alprostadil functions as a vasodilator, expanding blood vessels to facilitate improved blood flow to the penis, to help men get an erection.

For more information on Alprostadil / Vitaros cream please refer to the Patient Information Leaflet.

Vitaros cream uses the active ingredient alprostadil. When the cream is applied to the skin on the tip of the penis, using the Vitaros AccuDose container, it works to help relax the blood vessels in the area. This ED cream will increase blood flow and help a man to achieve and maintain a healthy erection. The ingredient does this by directly stimulating the production of cyclic AMP, a molecule that smooths muscle tissue and promotes the widening of the blood vessels. 

It is relatively simple to use Vitaros cream to achieve the desired results. You can find instructions on the patient information leaflet included with the medication, or you can follow the following instructions:

1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water
2. Apply the contents of the Vitaros AccuDose container onto the tip of your penis
3. Massage the cream into the head and shaft of your penis
4. Ensure you wait around 5 to 30 minutes before engaging in sexual activity

The effectiveness of Vitaros cream will depend on a number of factors including the severity and underlying cause of the user's erectile dysfunction. Studies have shown that Vitaros varies in effectiveness for different men, however, the majority notice a definite improvement in their medical condition and sexual health after using the cream, helping them to overcome their sexual dysfunction issues. 

You should only ever use your medication as directed by your healthcare provider. The recommended frequency of use for Vitaros is no more than two to three times per week, leaving at least 24 hours between applications. Using the medication more than this will increase the risk of experiencing side effects. 

The correct dosage of Vitaros will depend on a number of different factors including the severity of the user's erectile dysfunction, the user's age, medical history and the instructions provided to the user by their healthcare provider. 

It is important to talk to your healthcare provider before using any medications to ensure that they are suitable for you. Some medications that may interact include nitrates, alpha-blockers, some HIV medications, some hair loss treatment medications and certain blood pressure medications.
