Vitaros 300 micrograms Cream is a topical medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. It is an alternative to oral ED treatments like sildenafil or tadalafil, offering a local, non-systemic approach to help stimulate and maintain an erection.

How It Works
Vitaros contains alprostadil, a synthetic version of prostaglandin E1. When applied directly to the urethral opening using a prefilled applicator, it causes vasodilation (widening) of the blood vessels in the penis. This increased blood flow helps initiate and maintain an erection in response to sexual stimulation. Unlike oral ED medications, Vitaros does not rely on the nitric oxide pathway and may be beneficial for men who cannot tolerate or do not respond to PDE5 inhibitors.

Why Choose Vitaros
Vitaros is an effective solution for men who prefer or require an alternative to oral ED medications. Its topical delivery method offers localised action and avoids gastrointestinal or systemic side effects common with oral tablets. It can also be used in certain patients with contraindications to PDE5 inhibitors. The single-use, pre-measured applicators ensure hygienic and convenient dosing.

Important Note
Vitaros is for external use only and should not be ingested or applied elsewhere on the body. Sexual activity should be avoided if either partner experiences irritation. The medication should be stored in the refrigerator and allowed to reach room temperature before use. Not recommended for use more than once in 24 hours or more than two to three times a week without medical advice.

How does Vitaros Cream work?

It contains alprostadil, a vasodilator that increases blood flow to the penis, enabling an erection when sexually stimulated.

Erections typically begin within 5–30 minutes and last around 1–2 hours. Timing may vary slightly between individuals.

Vitaros is applied directly into the opening of the penis (urethra) using a single-use applicator 5–30 minutes before intercourse.

Vitaros Cream is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) by helping achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity.

Vitaros may not be suitable for men with low blood pressure, cardiovascular issues, or penile anatomical abnormalities. Always consult a healthcare provider before use.
