Alpostadil Injection 1 ml

Your doctor may recommend this injection to help manage the following conditions:

• Erectile Dysfunction: It helps men achieve and maintain an erection by relaxing the muscles and blood vessels in the penis, which allows blood to flow in and support sexual activity.
• Diagnostic Aid: Doctors may use this injection in a clinical setting to help diagnose the exact physical causes of erectile dysfunction by monitoring how the penile blood vessels respond.

When taken consistently as directed, this medication may provide the following health benefits:

• Provides reliable erectile support: This medicine is injected directly into the penis, where it works quickly, typically producing an erection within 5 to 20 minutes. This helps improve confidence and sexual performance during intimate moments.
• An alternative to oral medicines: This medicine is an effective option for people who cannot take oral treatments because of certain medical conditions or drug interactions. By helping achieve and maintain an erection suitable for sexual activity, it supports a more satisfying intimate life.

• Follow your doctor’s instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication. Inject not more than 3 times a week, with at least 24 hours between doses.
• Your healthcare provider will show you how to prepare and inject Alpostadil Injection 1 ml. Check the label for directions and use it as advised by the doctor. Make yourself comfortable and sit upright or slightly reclined and inject Alpostadil Injection 1 ml into the penis.
• Change the side of the shaft of the penis, and choose a different location for each injection. To minimise the risk of the needle breaking, make sure you use the proper needle as instructed by your doctor.

• Limit alcohol intake: Drinking alcohol can decrease your ability to get an erection and may worsen some side effects, like dizziness or low blood pressure.
• Quit smoking: Tobacco use damages blood vessels and reduces blood flow throughout the body, which can make erectile dysfunction treatments less effective.
• Stay active: Regular, moderate cardiovascular exercise helps improve blood circulation, supporting the natural mechanisms of this medication.
• Manage stress and anxiety: Psychological factors play a significant role in sexual performance; practising relaxation techniques can enhance the physical benefits of the treatment.

• Inspect before use: Always inspect the solution before injection. Do not use it if you notice cloudiness, discolouration, or floating particles.
• Long-term use: Repeated injections into the same area may cause scarring or penile fibrosis, which can lead to curvature of the penis (such as Peyronie's disease). Rotating injection sites and following your doctor's instructions can help reduce this risk.
• Use a new needle every time: Never reuse needles or syringes. Always use a sterile, single-use needle for each injection to help prevent infections.
• Avoid damaged areas: Do not inject into areas of the penis that are red, bruised, infected, or scarred.
• Seek urgent medical help if needed: Stop using the medicine and seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain, fainting, or sudden vision changes during sexual activity after the injection.
