Apomorphine HCL - Generic Uprima
- is
used to treat Erectile Dysfunction, (Impotence). ED is the persistent inability to achieve and maintain an erection sufficient to
complete sexual intercourse. Apomorphine is taken sublingually as needed prior to sexual activity (placed under tongue).
Apomorphine works along with sexual stimulation to help achieve an erection. Your results may vary, but for some men,
apomorphine works as fast as 10 minutes after placing under tongue and stays effective for up to 24 hours.
Clinical studies indicate that apomorphine is particularly effective in diabetic patients suffering from ED.
Uprima is a dopamine receptor agonist that works in the brain to improve
diminished erectile function by enhancing the natural signal to the
penis following sexual stimulation, similar to the way men normally have
erections. Apomorphine works through the central nervous system,
producing a series of events that enhances the ability to achieve and
maintain penile erection. It is distinct from other oral therapies,
which act by blocking the action of certain enzymes involved in the
erectile response.
Because
Uprima is sublingually administered (under the tongue), it
enters the bloodstream quickly, bypassing the gastro-intestinal tract.
The rapid absorption of apomorphine into the bloodstream allows for its
fast onset of action, typically under 20 minutes.
SIDE EFFECTS: Like all medicines, Uprima can have side effects.
These are generally mild and transient in nature.
Common undesirable effects are nausea, headache, dizziness, yawning,
sleepiness, infection, sore throat, pain, increased cough, rhinitis,
flushing, taste disorder and sweating.
Uncommonly, fainting has occurred. If you feel faint, do not take Uprima.
If you have chest pains during intercourse, you should stop immediately
and contact your doctor. |
