About alprostadil

What is alprostadil?
Alprostadil is a synthetic form of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), a natural substance in the body that relaxes blood vessels and smooth muscle tissue. It is primarily prescribed for erectile dysfunction and is also used in neonates to keep the ductus arteriosus open before surgery.

FDA-approved uses of alprostadil include:
- Erectile dysfunction (ED), especially in men who cannot take oral ED medications
- Temporary maintenance of ductus arteriosus in neonates with congenital heart defects (Prostin VR Pediatric) until surgery can be performed

Brand names and formulations include:
- Caverject: Intracavernosal injection
- Edex: Intracavernosal injection
- Muse: Urethral suppository
- Prostin VR Pediatric: Intravenous infusion (neonatal use)

Depending on the formulation, alprostadil is administered either by injection into the penis or as a urethral insert. The medication acts locally, which means fewer systemic side effects compared to oral ED medications.

How to get an alprostadil prescription online

You can request an evaluation from a licensed provider on Klarity Health. If medically appropriate, a prescription may be issued and sent to your preferred pharmacy.

Steps to get started:

  1. Book a virtual visit on Klarity Health.
  2. Discuss your symptoms, history, and treatment goals with a provider.
  3. If suitable, receive your prescription electronically.

How does alprostadil compare to other ED medications?

Alprostadil is a prostaglandin E1 analog used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) by relaxing blood vessels and increasing blood flow to the penis. Unlike oral phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors such as sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), and vardenafil (Levitra), which are taken orally, Alprostadil is administered either via intracavernosal injection (Caverject, Edex) or intraurethral suppository (Muse).

Comparison with Sildenafil (Viagra):

  • Mechanism of Action: Sildenafil is a PDE5 inhibitor that stops the breakdown of cGMP, which causes smooth muscle to relax, leading to increased blood flow. Alprostadil directly stimulates cAMP production, leading to vasodilation.
  • Administration: Sildenafil is taken orally, while Alprostadil requires injection or urethral insertion.
  • Onset and Duration: Sildenafil typically works within 60 minutes and lasts about 4 hours. Alprostadil acts within 5-10 minutes, with effects lasting about 1 hour or 60 minutes.
  • Side Effects: Sildenafil may cause headaches, flushing, and nasal congestion. Alprostadil’s side effects include penile pain, urethral burning, and potential priapism.

Comparison with Tadalafil (Cialis):

  • Duration: Tadalafil has a longer duration of action (up to 36 hours) compared to Alprostadil’s shorter effect.
  • Daily Use: Tadalafil can be taken daily at lower doses, allowing for spontaneous sexual activity. Alprostadil is used on demand.
  • Side Effects: Tadalafil may cause back pain and muscle aches, which are not common with Alprostadil.

Comparison with Vardenafil (Levitra):

  • Efficacy: Both medications are effective for ED, but individual response varies.
  • Side Effects: Vardenafil’s side effects are similar to other PDE5 inhibitors, including headache and flushing. Alprostadil’s side effects are more localized due to its administration route.

Alprostadil is often considered for patients who cannot tolerate or do not respond to oral PDE5 inhibitors. Its direct mechanism of action and localized administration make it a suitable alternative. However, the invasive nature of its administration may be a drawback for some patients.
