Muse

Drug Details

This medication, known as Muse (alprostadil), is used to address erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. It functions by promoting blood flow to the penis, which helps achieve and maintain an erection. Muse is a prostaglandin E1 agonist, a synthetic version of a natural substance that relaxes the muscles and widens blood vessels in the penis. It is administered as a urethral suppository, inserted directly into the opening of the penis, and is intended for use as needed, up to twice daily before sexual activity. Common side effects may include urethral pain and burning. Please note that Muse was discontinued in June 2024 in the U.S., and patients should consult their healthcare provider for alternative ED treatments. This medication is not suitable for women or children. Always consult a healthcare professional before using any medication.
