Introduction to Prostal 500mcg Injection
Prostal 500mcg injection contains active components called Alprostadil. This medication is often used to treat ED in men with difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection. It may be used to improve blood flow in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), a condition in which blood flow to the extremities (usually the legs) is reduced. In newborns with certain heart conditions, such as PDA, it can open a blood vessel called the ductus arteriosus. It can also be used in diagnostic tests to assess blood flow in specific body areas, such as during penile Doppler ultrasound studies to evaluate erectile function.
Individuals who have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to Alprostadil or any of its components should not use the medication. It should be avoided in men with penile implants or conditions that make penile injections unsafe, such as penile fibrosis, curvature, or priapism (prolonged erections). It should not be used in individuals with conditions predisposing them to priapism, such as sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, or leukemia. It should not be used in individuals who experience unexplained genital or pelvic pain, as it may indicate an underlying medical condition.
Individuals with bleeding disorders or those taking anticoagulant medications (blood thinners) should use Prostal 500mcg injection cautiously, as it may increase the risk of bleeding at the injection site. It should not be used concomitantly with alpha-blocker medications used to treat conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and high blood pressure, as it can lead to severe low blood pressure. It should not be used in infants with congenital heart defects who have conditions that are worsened by increased blood flow to the lungs. It can be used in elderly patients, but caution may be required.

Therapeutic Effects of Prostal 500mcg Injection
Prostal 500mcg injection binds to specific receptors on smooth muscle cells in blood vessels and various tissues. When it binds to these receptors, it triggers biochemical events that lead to vasodilation. It relaxes the smooth muscles in blood vessel walls, particularly in the penis, when used for erectile dysfunction. It involves promoting the relaxation of smooth muscle cells, improving blood flow to specific body areas, depending on its intended use.
Interaction of Prostal 500mcg Injection with other drugs
