Phentolamine
While Phentolamine is used for several medicinal uses, its main function is for the control of hypertensive emergencies usually due to phaeochromocytoma. It is also used in the treatment of cocain induced hypertension, where they usually avoid beta blockers and where the calcium blockers are not effective. If this is the case, it is safer usually to be given by infusion since the bolus doses may cause falls in blood pressure. When the Phentolamine is given by injection it causes the blood vessels to expand which increases the blood flow. The Phentolamine is also often found in crash carts so they can use it to counteract severe peripheral vasoconstriction. It plays a role in complex regional pain syndrome.
Phentolamine is a prescription drug which is designed to treat erectile dsyfunction. When the Phentenolamine is injected into the penis, it causes an erection because of the increased blood flow. Some other treatments are taken orally (viagra, etc.) but Phentolamine is injected into the base of the penis with a needle. This drug is sometimes the only alternative available that is safe for the patient if they can not use the others because of certain health problems which could prevent them from using the other oral options. The Phentolamine is usually used to treat vascular disease. This drug is not helpful for the sexually healthy male. It is for those who are suffering from erectile dysfunction. Phentolamine is the main active ingredient in several medications that are injected directly into the penis. On the positive side of this drug, it will not interact with nitrates and there are no pills to take. It does not need to be used daily in order to have improved results. Some of the negatives of the drug are the injecting of the drug into the penis may be uncomfortable, it is available by prescription only, it requires partner preparation, and it should not be used more than three times a week. It is only good for those with ongoing sexual problems. If you are interested in just improving your quality or quantity of erections, try some of the other options that do not require a prescription. This drug is not for you. There are some very good all natural supplements which will provide a fuller, more firm feeling in time and are usually much cheaper. They are also much safer to use because there are no drugs involved. Most alternative supplements do not have any side effects and can be purchased without a prescription and taken indefinitely. If you are determined to use the Phentolamine, discuss it with your doctor. The doctor will need to know about your health , past and present, and any medications you are using.
