What is Zyprima 3?
Zyprima 3 containing the active ingredient apomorphine hydrochloride is classified as a dopamine agonist type of medication. It works by enhancing the nerve signals that cause an erection. The medication causes blood vessels in the penis to relax and widen, allowing it to be filled with blood and becoming erect. It is used to treat erectile dysfunction but will not increase sex drive and cannot be used as an aphrodisiac. Some patients may also use the medication to treat Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer’s disease.
How is Zyprima 3 used?
Zyprima 3 should be taken orally around 20 minutes prior to sexual activity. The tablets should be placed under the tongue and left to dissolve where it will immediately enter the bloodstream. Contact a doctor for the correct dosage as it will depend on the patient’s condition and their response to the medication. Patients should allow at least eight hours between doses of the medication.
