Alprostadil

Alprostadil is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction by increasing blood flow to the penis, helping achieve and maintain an erection. It belongs to a class of drugs called prostaglandins, which relax blood vessels. It can be administered via injection directly into the penis or as a suppository inserted into the urethra. Alprostadil acts quickly, often producing an erection within minutes. It’s typically used when oral medications like Viagra are ineffective or contraindicated. As with any medication, it should be used under medical supervision to manage potential side effects and ensure safe use.
