What is Vitaros?

Overview

Vitaros is a cream used to treat erectile dysfunction. It contains alprostadil, the same active ingredient found in treatments like Caverject and MUSE. When you apply the cream to the skin, it is absorbed and works by dilating the blood vessels that supply the penis and by constricting those that allow blood to leave. This action helps maintain an erection.

How It Works

Unlike other alprostadil treatments that require an injection, Vitaros is applied directly to the tip of the penis and absorbed through the skin. It typically begins to work within 5 to 30 minutes and its effects can last for 1 to 2 hours.

Benefits

  • Ideal for men who have difficulty swallowing tablets or experience side effects from oral PDE-5 inhibitors.
  • Associated with fewer side effects, minimal drug interactions, and less impact from food and drink compared to oral ED medications.

What is Vitaros Cream 3mg/g?

Overview

Vitaros Cream is a topical treatment designed to help manage erectile dysfunction. It contains alprostadil, a prostaglandin (PGE-1) also found in medications like Caverject and MUSE, which works to improve blood flow to the penis.

How It Works

  • When applied to the skin, Vitaros Cream is absorbed and helps dilate the blood vessels that supply blood to the penis.
  • It also assists in constricting the vessels that allow blood to leave the penis, keeping blood within the tissue to support an erection.
  • Unlike other alprostadil treatments that require injection, Vitaros Cream is applied directly to the opening of the urethra at the tip of the penis using a plunger provided in the pack.
  • The effects can typically be noticed within 5 to 30 minutes and may last for 1 to 2 hours.

Benefits

  • Ideal for men who struggle with swallowing tablets or experience side effects from oral PDE-5 inhibitors.
  • Associated with fewer side effects and drug interactions, and is less influenced by food and drink.
  • Suitable for patients taking nitrates for angina or heart disease, offering a safe alternative to oral ED medications.

Vitaros 3mg/g Cream is used to manage erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. This topical medication is applied directly to the tip of the penis, offering a non-invasive alternative to oral ED treatments.

How Does Vitaros 3mg/g Cream Work?

Mechanism of Action

Vitaros 3mg/g Cream is a proven treatment for erectile dysfunction that uses alprostadil, a prostaglandin E1 analog, to help widen blood vessels. When applied to the opening at the tip of the penis (the urethral meatus), the cream is quickly absorbed through the skin.

Enhanced Blood Flow

  • Alprostadil relaxes smooth muscle cells and dilates the blood vessels in the penis.
  • This process increases blood flow into the penile tissues, promoting the engorgement needed for an erection.

Rapid, Localized Effect

  • Unlike oral ED medications that must pass through the digestive system, Vitaros works directly at the site of application.
  • It typically produces an erection within 5 to 30 minutes, while minimizing the risk of widespread side effects.

Practical Benefits

The ease of application and fast action make Vitaros a practical choice for men who cannot tolerate or have not benefited from oral ED treatments.
