Bioglandin Injection, which contains alprostadil, can be used by older men, but it should be done under medical supervision. Alprostadil is a medication that helps treat erectile dysfunction (ED) by relaxing the blood vessels and increasing blood flow to the penis, making it easier to achieve and maintain an erection. Use in Older Men: Older men (typically over the age of 65) may still benefit from Bioglandin Injection to treat ED, but there are a few important considerations: Key Considerations for Older Men Using Bioglandin Injection: Underlying Health Conditions: Cardiovascular health: Older men are more likely to have conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes, all of which can affect ED and complicate the use of alprostadil. Blood pressure: Bioglandin Injection can lower blood pressure, so older men with low blood pressure or those taking medications for high blood pressure should be cautious. Kidney or liver function: Alprostadil is processed by the liver, so any liver or kidney problems may require dosage adjustments or alternative treatments. Priapism Risk: Priapism (a painful, prolonged erection lasting more than 4 hours) is a known risk with alprostadil. This risk may increase in older men, especially if they have pre-existing medical conditions that affect blood flow, such as sickle cell anemia or penile structural abnormalities. Medication Interactions: Older individuals often take multiple medications for chronic conditions (e.g., for hypertension, diabetes, or cholesterol). It's important to ensure that Bioglandin doesn't interact negatively with any of these medications. Some blood thinners, for example, could increase the risk of bruising or bleeding at the injection site.
