Befar (Alprostadil) is a product used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. It works by widening the blood vessels in the penis, allowing it to be engorged with blood. Befar (Alprostadil) has been used for several years worldwide, and was formerly administered via injection directly into the penis.

Dosage and AdministrationApply the cream as directed by your physician approximately 10-15 minutes prior to attempting intercourse. Each applicator holds one dosage. Grasp the glans penis (tip of the penis) and gently open the orifice (opening) of the urethra. If you are not circumcised, first retract the foreskin and hold the foreskin back prior to opening the orifice of the urethra. Apply the cream, at the dosage directed by your physician, into the orifice of the urethra.

Ensure you hold the penis in an upright position for approximately 30 seconds to allow the cream to spread sufficiently. The cream does not need to be completely absorbed to be effective.

Side effectsIn clinical trials, the most common side effects were urinary tract pain, burning, penile fullness, and redness at the application site. These side effects were not enough for patients to stop using Befar (Alprostadil).
