Effect of Alprostadil on Erectile Dysfunction
There are two types of alprostadil:
- Transurethral alprostadil (MUSE)
- Intracavernosal alprostadil (Caverject, Edex)
Alprostadil acts directly on the blood vessels in the penis to cause an erection. It can be inserted into the urethra (urinary tube in the penis) with a special device or injected with a small needle. Erection occurs in 8-10 minutes and lasts 30-60 minutes. The injection is effective in about 65%-85% of users; the insert is effective in about 65%. The maximal number of injections per week is three.

I am 42 and my husband is 57 with ED. It’s been a 6 years journey to today. We’ve tried all the pills, lotions, injections, etc. Nothing worked anymore. His desire was there but it just doesn’t happen very often anymore. He had high blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes (takes pills) He was thinking that surgery is the only option left to do. It was so permanent and I wasnt sure he’s ready for that. Nor I for that matter. I missed sex don’t get me wrong. But it’s really seperated us and made it uncomfortable to be intimate at all. UNTIL I MET DR AKIM on an internet website,people taking about his good works and his good native herbs and i also ordered for the herbs and i got it in two days and my husband used it and till today my husband has been active in the bed room with his ED cured.all thanks to Dr Akim.Anyone else with similar issue should order for his herbs at (bestspellhome@gmail.com)
