What is Vitaros cream used to treat?

Vitaros cream is an effective topical medicine for erectile dysfunction (ED).

It makes for a convenient and discreet solution for men who have trouble swallowing tablets like Viagra. This cream can help a man to gain an erection in as little time as five minutes after application.

Why is Vitaros cream recommended for erectile dysfunction?

Research has revealed that 52% of men who used Vitaros cream reported having better erections than those who used a placebo cream. This evidence was found during a 12-week study of 1,732 men.

A nine-month study of 1,161 men revealed that many of the participants reported an improved vaginal penetration after using Vitaros.

How does Vitaros cream treat erectile dysfunction?

Vitaros cream contains the active ingredient alprostadil, which works on the erectile tissue of the penis. It causes the blood vessels in the erectile tissue of the penis to dilate, which makes it easier to gain an erection.

It will take between 5 and 30 minutes for Vitaros to work. Once you have applied the cream, an erection will normally last for between one and two hours, although the duration varies in each case.

Vitaros Cream Alternatives

We also stock a range of erectile dysfunction treatments that you can buy online.

Viagra is the most famous erectile dysfunction treatment in the world. It is a prescription-only treatment but can be bought from Medicine Direct after an online consultation.

Cialis is one of the most renowned medications for men who find it difficult to gain erections. Once taken, the effects of this medicine last for up to 36 hours. Spedra tablets are also available, which work in the same way as Viagra and Cialis and are available in various doses.

These medicines work by widening the blood vessels in the penis to allow better blood flow. This helps you to gain and maintain an erection long enough to complete sexual intercourse.
