Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present a specialized topical cream formulation of Alprostadil 0.2%, Arginine HCl 6%, and Papaverine HCl 5%. This unique blend of medications is specifically designed to address various health conditions such as erectile dysfunction, peripheral vascular disease, and Raynaud's phenomenon.

Alprostadil, a potent vasodilator, functions by relaxing the smooth muscle cells lining the blood vessels, thereby facilitating increased blood flow. Arginine HCl, an essential amino acid, aids in the production of nitric oxide, a compound that further enhances blood circulation. Papaverine HCl, a smooth muscle relaxant, contributes to the relaxation of blood vessel walls, promoting improved blood flow.

This synergistic combination of medications aims to augment blood flow to the targeted areas, potentially alleviating symptoms associated with erectile dysfunction, peripheral vascular disease, and Raynaud's phenomenon. The topical cream formulation is dispensed in a pump mechanism, ensuring a convenient and controlled application on the skin for localized treatment or absorption of the active ingredients.

The ease of application and rapid onset of relief from symptoms make this topical cream an effective treatment option. If you have any queries regarding this formulation or its potential benefits in treating your specific condition, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our primary goal is to assist you in identifying the most suitable treatment option tailored to your individual needs.

It is designed for convenient and controlled application on the skin, specifically for localized treatment or absorption of active ingredients. The primary indications for this formulation are the treatment of erectile dysfunction, Peyronie's disease, and Raynaud's phenomenon.

Alprostadil, one of the active ingredients, is a vasodilator that works by relaxing the smooth muscle cells in the penis, allowing for increased blood flow and facilitating an erection. Arginine HCl, an amino acid, aids in increasing nitric oxide production, which further helps to relax the smooth muscle cells in the penis and increase blood flow. Papaverine HCl, another vasodilator, also works by relaxing the smooth muscle cells in the penis, promoting increased blood flow and an erection.

It is important to note that this formulation should not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the components of the formulation. Additionally, it should not be used in patients with severe cardiovascular disease, or in patients with a history of priapism.

Patients are advised to apply the cream to the penis as directed by their healthcare provider. They should avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. It is also recommended that patients wash their hands after applying the cream.

Patients should be monitored for signs and symptoms of priapism, such as prolonged and painful erections. If priapism occurs, patients should seek immediate medical attention. Furthermore, patients should avoid using other topical medications on the same area of the penis as the cream.

If you have any questions about this formulation or its use, please reach out to your healthcare provider or pharmacist for further information and guidance.
