Muse

How is this medication used?

Muse is used by inserting a pre-measured pellet of alprostadil into the urethra using a disposable applicator. Patients are advised to urinate before using the medication as a small amount of urine inside the urethra will help dissolve the pellet. The application should be done while the patient is standing or sitting in an upright position. It is important to follow the specific instructions provided by the healthcare provider or the medication guide.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects of Muse include pain in the penis, burning sensation in the urethra, minor bleeding or spotting from the urethra, dizziness, and urinary tract infections. In some cases, patients may experience prolonged erections or priapism, which requires immediate medical attention.

What are the potential interactions?

Muse may interact with other medications, especially those used to treat erectile dysfunction, such as phosphodiesterase inhibitors (PDE5 inhibitors). It should not be used in combination with other treatments for ED without consulting with a healthcare provider. Additionally, individuals taking blood thinners or medicines that affect blood clotting may face an increased risk of bleeding. It is critical to inform the healthcare provider of all medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, being taken before starting Muse.
