Indications & Clinical Uses

Alpostin 500mcg is primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction by improving blood flow to the penis. It may also assist in managing symptoms of peripheral vascular disease by promoting circulation in the extremities.

  • Erectile dysfunction: Helps achieve and maintain an erection suitable for sexual activity.
  • Peripheral vascular disease: Improves blood flow in the extremities.
  • Diagnostic adjunct: Used in the diagnosis of erectile dysfunction.

How It Works

  • Alprostadil, the active ingredient in Alpostin 500mcg, is a prostaglandin E1 analog. It works by increasing intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels, which leads to the relaxation of smooth muscle tissue in blood vessels. This vasodilation effect enhances blood flow to specific areas, such as the penis, facilitating erections.

Common Side Effects
