Alprostadil, the active ingredient in Muse, is a prostaglandin E1 analog presented as a urethral suppository for urethral use. It facilitates erection by increasing blood flow to the corpus cavernosum and is indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in adult men.

GNH USA supplies Muse as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide, with distribution aligned to EU regulatory standards. All batches undergo rigorous quality testing and are shipped under controlled conditions to ensure product integrity.

Alprostadil is a prostaglandin E1 analog used in the management of erectile dysfunction.

- Erectile dysfunction (primary): improves the ability to achieve and maintain an erection suitable for sexual activity. - Erectile dysfunction (post‑prostatectomy): enhances penile blood flow to aid recovery of erectile function after surgery. - Erectile dysfunction (diabetes‑related): helps overcome vascular insufficiency associated with diabetic patients.

Alprostadil may cause a range of adverse reactions.

Common Side Effects: - Penile pain or discomfort during or after administration. - Urethral burning or stinging sensation. - Light‑headedness or dizziness. - Mild headache or flushing. - Minor urethral bleeding or spotting.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Priapism (prolonged erection lasting more than four hours). - Severe hypotension or fainting. - Allergic reaction including rash, swelling, or anaphylaxis. - Penile fibrosis with repeated use. - Sudden loss of vision or hearing (very rare).

Before using Muse, consider the following safety measures.

- Assess cardiovascular status: ensure the patient can safely engage in sexual activity. - Avoid use with nitrates: concurrent use may cause severe hypotension. - Monitor for priapism: seek immediate medical attention if erection persists beyond four hours. - Do not use in patients with penile anatomical abnormalities or severe urethral disease. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture and heat.

Alprostadil can interact with other medicines; some require avoidance while others need monitoring.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin): risk of profound hypotension. - Alpha‑blockers (e.g., tamsulosin): additive blood‑pressure lowering effect. - Systemic antihypertensives: may cause excessive drop in blood pressure.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely):\n- Phosphodiesterase‑5 inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil): may increase risk of priapism. - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): potential for increased urethral bleeding. - Alcohol: can enhance vasodilatory effects and dizziness.
