Is alprostadil useful for erectile dysfunction?

Other options for men who have erectile failure include use of alprostadil. Before Viagra was available, alprostadil was frequently used as an injection or a suppository to enhance erections. This medication only works in a few men. It is primarily used in individuals who have had a stroke or are paralyzed. The side effects of alprostadil include pain from injection, prolonged and painful erections, and small bumps formed at the site of injection. Alprostadil is not only expensive, but has to be injected and only works in a few people – most of whom are paralyzed. For healthy young me, this is not a great drug of choice. If you do not believe me, stick a needle in your penis and see what is feels like- definitely not erotic!
