Indications & Clinical Uses

Alprostadil is a prostaglandin E1 analog used to manage erectile dysfunction, a condition involving impaired penile blood flow.

  • Erectile dysfunction: improves ability to achieve and maintain penile erection during sexual activity.
  • Penile vascular insufficiency: enhances blood flow to the corpus cavernosum in men with reduced arterial inflow.
  • Refractory erectile dysfunction: provides an alternative route of administration for patients who cannot use oral phosphodiesterase‑5 inhibitors.

How It Works

  • Alprostadil activates prostaglandin E1 (EP) receptors on smooth‑muscle cells of the corpus cavernosum, raising intracellular cyclic AMP levels. The increased cAMP leads to smooth‑muscle relaxation, vasodilation of penile arteries, and enhanced inflow of blood into the erectile tissue, facilitating erection in response to sexual stimulation.

Side Effects

Common Side Effects

  • Penile pain or discomfort.
  • Urethral burning or stinging sensation.
  • Light vaginal bleeding or spotting.
  • Dizziness or mild headache.
  • Redness or erythema of the penis.
  • Minor urethral discharge.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Priapism lasting longer than four hours.
  • Severe hypotension or fainting.
  • Allergic reaction including rash, swelling, or anaphylaxis.
  • Penile fibrosis or scarring.
  • Significant urethral bleeding.
  • Local infection at the application site.

Precautions & Warnings

Before using Muse, consider the following precautions:

  • Medical evaluation: confirm diagnosis of erectile dysfunction prior to therapy.
  • Contraindications: avoid in patients with known hypersensitivity to alprostadil or any component of the formulation.
  • Cardiovascular risk: use with caution in men with unstable angina, recent myocardial infarction, or severe hypertension.
  • Bleeding disorders: assess risk of urethral bleeding in patients on anticoagulants or with coagulopathies.
  • Drug interactions: review concomitant medications that may affect blood pressure or hemostasis.
  • Store at room temperature: keep below 25 °C, retain in the original packaging, and protect from moisture and light.

Avoid Interactions

Alprostadil may interact with several drug classes. Monitor patients closely and avoid certain combinations.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Nitrates: concurrent use can cause severe hypotension.
  • Alpha‑blockers: additive blood‑pressure‑lowering effect may occur.
  • Anticoagulants: increased risk of urethral bleeding.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Antihypertensives: may enhance vasodilatory effects.
  • PDE‑5 inhibitors: combined use may raise the risk of priapism.
  • Alcohol: can potentiate vasodilatory responses and dizziness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Muse is a urethral suppository containing alprostadil, prescribed to treat erectile dysfunction in adult men. It works by promoting blood flow to the penis, helping to achieve and maintain an erection when sexual stimulation occurs.

Alprostadil activates prostaglandin E1 receptors in the smooth muscle of the corpus cavernosum, raising intracellular cAMP. The rise in cAMP causes smooth‑muscle relaxation and vasodilation, increasing blood flow into the penile tissue and facilitating erection.

The prescribed dose of Muse is determined by the treating physician based on the individual’s medical condition and response. The product is supplied as a 125 µg urethral suppository, and the prescriber decides the frequency and timing of administration.

Muse is intended for use in adult males with erectile dysfunction. Its safety in pregnancy or breastfeeding has not been established, and it is not indicated for use by women. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing should avoid handling the product without appropriate protective measures.

To order Muse, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com with the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any cold‑chain requirements), and assistance with import documentation.

Muse delivers alprostadil directly to the urethra, offering a local route that bypasses oral absorption. This can be advantageous for patients who cannot take oral phosphodiesterase‑5 inhibitors or who experience inadequate response. Compared with injectable alprostadil, Muse is less invasive but may have a higher incidence of urethral irritation.

Muse should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C. Keep the suppositories in their original packaging, protect them from moisture and direct light, and avoid exposure to extreme temperatures to maintain product stability.

Muse is inserted into the urethra using the supplied applicator. The patient should follow the prescriber’s instructions, typically inserting the suppository shortly before anticipated sexual activity. No additional preparation is required, but the area should be clean before administration.

The most serious risks include priapism (a prolonged erection lasting more than four hours) and severe hypotension. If either occurs, immediate medical attention is required. Rarely, an allergic reaction such as rash, swelling, or anaphylaxis may develop.

Muse should not be used by men with known hypersensitivity to alprostadil or any excipients, those with severe cardiovascular disease such as recent myocardial infarction, uncontrolled hypertension, or who are taking nitrates. It is also contraindicated in patients with active urethral infections or severe bleeding disorders.
