How To Use Muse (Alprostadil)

When treating erectile dysfunction, you can't go wrong with Muse (Alprostadil). As one of the leading ED medications on the market today, it has a proven track record in helping men achieve stronger, longer-lasting erections. Knowing all the basics about using Muse correctly is important so you can return to enjoying your sex life again.

How is Muse Administered? 

Muse is administered through the urethra using an applicator device. A typical single dose contains 125 micrograms of Alprostadil dissolved in small pellets suspended inside the applicator device. However, doctors may prescribe other strong dosages for those who can't achieve an erection with the typical dosage.

To administer this dose, insert the end of the applicator into your urethra until you feel some resistance, about two to three centimeters deep. You'll then hold the applicator in that position for 10 seconds before slowly removing it from your urethra. This ensures that the pellet is released into the urethra. 

Next, roll the penis between your hands for at least 10 seconds while the penis is stretched fully. This allows the medication to distribute along the urethra.

Once inside the urethra, the drug relaxes blood vessels in the penis and increases blood flow to achieve an erection when sexually aroused or stimulated. This increase in blood flow helps create an erection lasting up to 30 minutes, depending on individual response and stimulation level during sexual activity. 

Most men will experience an erection within 10 minutes after administering this medication. However, some men may require up to 30 minutes to experience an erection. The effects should last up to 30 minutes after administration but could sometimes last more hours. The effectiveness of Muse varies between individuals, but clinical studies have shown that more than half of patients experience improved erections after weeks of proper Alprostadil dosage. 

How to Use Muse (Alprostadil) Properly

It is recommended to use Muse (Alprostadil) exactly as your doctor prescribes for optimal results. Read and follow the provided instructions carefully. You should see the effects of the medicine within 5-10 minutes, and you should attempt intercourse not more than 30 minutes after administering Muse. An erection may persist after ejaculation but if any issues come up, contact your doctor immediately. 

These are the tips for proper usage of Alprostadil: 

• Always use a new delivery device when inserting the suppository, and be sure to remove it after 5 seconds. 
• Make sure you remove all parts of the suppository from the device before discarding it in the foil. 
• Always use clean hands when handling, inserting, and removing the suppository. 
• Urinate before inserting the suppository to help dissolve it after insertion. 
• Make sure you stretch your penis upward when inserting the suppository to extend its length. 
• If you experience pain or a pulling sensation while inserting the device, withdraw it and start again. 
• Replace the cap on the delivery device and store it in the foil before disposing of it properly.

Precaution

Muse should be used cautiously as it may cause complications such as dizziness and penile pain. Furthermore, if too much is used, the erection may last too long and lead to priapism. It is also advisable to use a condom during sexual intercourse to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis, herpes, or HIV. Finally, do not take other medicines/supplements without consulting your doctor first to avoid possible drug interactions.
