What is Prostaglandin E1

The recommended dose of prostaglandin E1 in erectile dysfunction has been reported to be 10 to 40 micrograms. However, adverse reactions may increase with increasing doses. We conducted a, single-blind, dose-escalation study prospective prostaglandin E1 on 20 men with erectile dysfunction of various etiologies. The answer to prostaglandin E1 was assessed by palpation and penile rigidity RigiScan surveillance. A total of 17 patients completed the study: 1 with 1 microgram strength reaches 2 with 2 and 4 micrograms .. 3 micrograms. Prostaglandin E1, while over 70% to 5 micrograms rigidity. or less and more than 80% had a full erection with 20 micrograms. Injections of 138 had two episodes of pain after the injection. We conclude that the recommended starting dose of 20 micrograms often. is too high. A more appropriate initial dose is 2.5 micrograms. in steps of 2.5 micrograms. the lowest effective dose is reached. This approach reduces the main obstacles to the use of prostaglandin E1, namely the burning and pain.
