Vitaros

To use Vitaros, you should apply a prescribed amount of the cream directly into the opening of the penis. The typical dose is usually indicated in milligrams (mg) or micrograms (mcg). It's essential to follow your healthcare provider's instructions carefully to achieve the best results. Remember not to exceed the recommended dosage and frequency to avoid potential side effects. If you experience an erection lasting more than four hours, seek immediate medical attention.

Vitaros contains alprostadil as the active ingredient, with specific dosages varying based on the prescribed strength. The cream also includes excipients, which are additional components like solvents or stabilizers necessary for the formulation to work effectively.

Common side effects of Vitaros may include mild irritation or redness at the application site. However, serious side effects like priapism (prolonged erection) or severe allergic reactions are rare but require immediate medical attention. If you experience any unexpected or concerning side effects, contact your healthcare provider promptly.

Certain precautions should be considered before using Vitaros. Do not use this medication if you have specific conditions such as sickle cell anemia or a penile implant. Vitaros is not intended for children, pregnant women, or individuals with certain heart conditions. If you are taking medications like blood thinners, consult your doctor before using Vitaros to prevent potential interactions.
