Who qualifies for Vitaros

Our EU-licensed doctors carefully review each patient's case to determine if Vitaros is a safe and appropriate treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED). They look for specific criteria:

  • You must be an adult male experiencing ED.
  • You should not have any contraindications to alprostadil, the active ingredient in Vitaros. This includes conditions like sickle cell anaemia, multiple myeloma, leukaemia, or anatomical deformities of the penis.
  • Your medical history will be assessed for cardiovascular conditions, as Vitaros can cause a drop in blood pressure.
  • You should not be taking medications that interact negatively with Vitaros.

The doctor's primary concern is your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment. If Vitaros is not suitable, they will explain why.

What Vitaros actually does (and doesn't do)

Vitaros is a topical cream containing alprostadil, a vasodilator. It works by directly increasing blood flow to the penis, which helps facilitate an erection. Unlike oral ED medications, Vitaros is applied directly to the tip of the penis using a single-use applicator. This allows for a faster onset of action, typically within 5 to 30 minutes.

Vitaros does provide temporary relief for erectile dysfunction, helping you achieve and maintain an erection suitable for sexual activity. It does not cure ED, nor does it affect sexual desire. Its action is localised to the penis, avoiding systemic effects common with oral medications. It's designed to be used on demand, not as a daily treatment.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Vitaros can cause side effects. Common ones include mild pain, burning, redness, or itching in the penis. You might also experience a headache or dizziness. These are usually temporary and mild.

It's important to stop using Vitaros and seek immediate medical attention if you experience:

  • A prolonged erection lasting more than 4 hours (priapism).
  • Severe pain or swelling in the penis.
  • Symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.

Always read the patient leaflet carefully before using Vitaros and discuss any concerns with your doctor.
