Product Description

🔹 Product Overview
ALPOSTIN 500 mcg Injection is a prescription injectable medicine primarily used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. It contains Alprostadil 500 mcg, a prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) analogue that works as a vasodilator to improve blood flow to the penile tissues, helping achieve and maintain an erection when sexually stimulated.
ALPOSTIN may also be used in specialized medical settings for maintaining the opening of the ductus arteriosus in certain newborns with congenital heart conditions, under strict hospital supervision.

🔹 How It Works
ALPOSTIN contains Alprostadil, which relaxes the smooth muscles of blood vessels in the penis. This causes widening of blood vessels and increases blood flow into the erectile tissue, helping produce an erection.
