About Vitaros®
Information
ALPROSTADIL + NexAct® – DDAIP
Alprostadil is the active ingredient. It’s been helping men get an erection for nearly two decades. But this is the first time it’s been available as a cream.
NexACT®-DDAIP is what makes Vitaros® different. It helps alprostadil pass through the skin at the tip of the penis and into the right areas to help you get an erection.
