Vitaros Cream is a medicated topical ointment used to treat erectile dysfunction. Unlike products that are marketed as “men’s health supplements,” Vitaros Cream is formulated with a recognized medicinal agent known as alprostadil. This has been used by the medical community to treat erectile dysfunction since 2014. It is backed by years of clinical study and has a promising record of results and performance.

— Manufacturer’s Claims

The manufacturer of Vitaros Cream makes it a point to market the product as an alternative to tablets and capsules used to treat erectile dysfunction.

The clinical claims made by the manufacturer include:

– 52 percent of men report having enhanced erections

– It is fast acting (in 5 to 30 minutes)

– Provides sustained enhanced erections for one to two hours

— Ingredients

The active ingredient in Vitaros Cream is alprostadil. It is present in a potency of 3 mg per gram of the cream.

Alprostadil is rapidly absorbed through the skin. This is what allows for its fast action.

Due to the presence of Alprostadil, Vitaros needs to be sored under refrigeration.

— How to Use

Vitaros Cream comes in a single dose applicator. Each package of Vitaros comes with four of these applicators. Each applicator contains 100 mg of the cream.

To use Vitaros, the cream must be applied to the head of the penis so that it may enter the urethra. It is best to hold the head of the penis with one hand applying a gentle pressure with the thumb and forefinger in order to get the urethra to open as much as possible. Then the applicator is depressed allowing the cream to enter the urethra.

Those who have used Vitaros report no discomfort in the application procedure. Some may feel a cool sensation, but the entire process is fast and painless.

— Possible Side Effects

Vitaros Cream should not be used in conjunction with Viagra, Cialis, Levitra, or Spedra tablets. If you do use any of those medications you should allow a minimum of 24 hours to elapse before using Vitaros. In the case of Levitra, the time window should be extended to 48 hours. Failure to do so may cause a condition known as priapism, which is a prolonged and painful erection.

Additionally, when Vitaros is used to have intercourse with a woman of childbearing age, it should be used with a condom or with the woman taking contraceptives. This is due to the fact that there is a possible risk for abnormal pregnancies when exposed to the Vitaros.

Men that suffer from hypotension, sickle cell anemia, thrombosis, hyperviscosity syndrome, heart problems, recovering from a stroke, or that are allergic to alprostadil, should seek counsel from there doctor prior to using Vitaros.

— Results Seen by Our Test Subjects

When we test male enhancement products that are not formulated from naturally occurring ingredients — or that are formally classified as medication as opposed to supplements — we cannot and do not conduct in-house testing. For that reason, we can only cite the information presented by the manufacturer of Vitaros regarding its performance on test subjects.

The manufacturer of Vitaros conducted a 12-week study on several men. Half received the real Vitaros Cream, the others received a placebo. In that formal clinical study, the group that used the real Vitaros Cream successfully experienced enhanced erections 52 percent of the time. The group that received the placebo had erections less than 20 percent of the time.
