What is Alprostadil?

Alprostadil is a generic prescription injection that is used to increase blood flow to and from the lungs in newborns with congenital heart disease. Alprostadil is used as a palliative treatment to keep the baby alive before heart surgery can correct the problem. Alprostadil is a form of prostaglandin, a hormone that naturally occurs in the body, and works by relaxing the smooth muscle in the blood vessels, particularly arteries. This expands the blood vessels, increasing blood flow, and oxygen transportation.

Alprostadil is widely used under the brand names Caverject, Edex, and Muse, to treat erectile dysfunction in men. While erectile dysfunction is caused by a wide spectrum of conditions, the end result is that an insufficient amount of blood flows into the penis to result in an erection. Injected or absorbed directly into the penis, Alprostadil relaxes the arteries into the penis, allowing a large amount of blood to flow into the tissues. As an erectile dysfunction medication, Alprostadil may be self-injected or used as a urethral suppository.

What are the side effects of Alprostadil?
