MUSE® (alprostadil)
Represents a unique approach for the treatment of erectile dysfunction,
commonly called impotence.

It is based on the discovery that the urethra (the normal pathway for urine) can absorb certain medications into the surrounding erectile tissues there by creating an erection. There are 4 dose strengths available: 125, 250, 500, and 1000 micrograms. The MUSE applicator (Fig.1) contained in each foil pouch is intended for 1 administration only. Your dose of MUSE will be determined by you and your physician. After administration, the erection process will begin within 5 - 10 minutes, and may last 30 - 60 minutes. However, the actual duration will vary from patient to patient.


THE MUSE APPLICATOR	Make sure that the pellet is present before insertion	Gently rock the applicator from side to side to separate the medicated pellet from the applicator tip.

After you have used MUSE, it is important to sit, stand or walk for about 10 minutes while your erection develops. These activities increase blood flow to the penis and improve the quality of your erection.

Every pack contains full instructions and
detailed diagrams to make using MUSE very easy.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR YOU AND YOUR PARTNER
Pregnancy
MUSE has no contraceptive properties.
Because MUSE has not been tested during human pregnancy, it is recommended that couples use adequate contraception if the female partner is of childbearing potential. MUSE should not be used for sexual intercourse with a pregnant woman unless the couple uses a condom barrier.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases
MUSE will not protect you or your partner from sexually transmitted diseases like chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes simplex virus, viral hepatitis, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV - the virus that causes AIDS), human papilloma virus (genital warts), and syphilis. Latex condoms can protect against these sexually transmitted diseases.

It is recommended that MUSE be stored in a refrigerator. MUSE may be kept at room temperature (less than 30°C/86°F) for up to 14 days prior to use. It is very important that MUSE not be exposed to temperatures above 30°C/86°F since this will make MUSE ineffective. MUSE should not be exposed to high temperatures or placed in direct sunlight.
