What is MUSE?
Muse containing the active ingredient alprostadil belongs to a class of medications called prostaglandin vasodilators. The medication works by relaxing the muscles and blood vessels to help blood flow to the penis and restricting the blood from leaving. Retaining blood in the penis can help a man achieve and maintain an erection and treat erectile dysfunction (impotence).
How is MUSE used?
Muse should only be inserted into the urethra using the special applicator as directed by a doctor. The medication should be used 5 to 15 minutes prior to sexual activity and the drug will last for approximately 30 to 60 minutes. Contact a doctor for the correct dosage as it will depend on the patient’s condition and their response to the therapy. The maximum recommended dosage in a 24 hour period is 2 doses.
