2-Drug Gel
Intraurethral gel works to relax smooth muscle in the penis and increase blood flow to the cavernosal chambers to achieve an erection strong enough for sexual intercourse or for penile rehabilitation. Intraurethral Gel is a one or two drug formulation consisting of Alprostadil and/or Phentolamine.
Intraurethral Gel should be used 5-15 minutes prior to sexual activity.
Prescription Required
menMD does not compound or dispense prescription products. Prescriptions are filled through our US-licensed pharmacy partners.
Starting at $25.75 per 1mL Syringe
Intraurethral gel is inserted into the urethra of the penis using a preloaded needleless syringe just before intercourse. The medication works by relaxing the smooth muscle in the penis allowing increased blood flow to the cavernosal chambers. Intraurethral Gels are formulated with one or two FDA approved ingredients: Alprostadil and Phentolamine.
Physical stimulation will help, but is not required to achieve an erection. The resulting erection should last through the entirety of sex, but less than an hour.
Gel therapy may be an effective choice for patients averse to penile injection therapy as well as those who are unable or unwilling to take oral medications.
Although not as effective as the injection therapy form of these same ingredients, Intraurethral Gel tends to be a stronger therapy than oral medications.
According to one study conducted over a 6-month period, 37 patients unsatisfied with other treatments opted to proceed with intraurethral gel therapy as their main treatment modality for the management of their ED. Patients responded favorably on their SHIM Score (+9.51 SHIM Score), and all positively responded regarding the medication’s success. 1
