Thorens

For Thorens, the recommended dosage is usually 10 to 20 micrograms inserted directly into the urethra using the applicator provided. Your healthcare provider will advise you on the correct dose for your individual needs. It is important not to exceed the prescribed dosage and frequency. If you experience an erection lasting longer than four hours, seek immediate medical assistance. 

Each dose of Thorens contains 20 micrograms of alprostadil as the active ingredient. Other components include lactose, hydroxypropyl betadex, sodium hydroxide, and hydrochloric acid. 

Common side effects of Thorens may include mild penile pain, dizziness, or redness at the application site. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include prolonged or painful erections lasting more than four hours, fainting, or signs of an allergic reaction such as rash, itching, or swelling. 

Do not use Thorens if you have a history of priapism (prolonged erections), penile implants, or conditions that predispose you to priapism. Thorens is not suitable for use in children, women, or individuals with certain heart conditions. If you are taking blood-thinning medications or have cardiovascular issues, consult your healthcare provider before using Thorens.
