Viridal

Viridal Duo is used to treat erectile dysfunction. It is able to do this because the active substance, alprostadil, widens your blood vessels and increases the flow of blood to your penis.

There are two cases whereby Viridal Duo may be used. The first is to help you to get and maintain an erection. Your doctor may also decide to use Viridal Duo to test whether or not you're suffering from impotence.

Viridal Duo is a form of medication that is used to treat erectile dysfunction.

Also known as impotence, erectile dysfunction is the inability to get and maintain an erection that is firm enough to have sex.

Having trouble getting an erection from time-to-time is not typically a cause for concern. However, if this becomes a continual problem, it can result in a lot of stress for men, causing relationship problems and impacting their self-confidence.

In most cases, erectile dysfunction is not an indication of a bigger problem, yet it could mean that there is an underlying health problem that requires treatment and it is a heart disease risk factor. This is why it is advisable to speak with your doctor if you are experiencing any erection issues.

Viridal Duo is a form of medicine known as a prostaglandin, which contains alprostadil as the active ingredient. This is very much like prostaglandin E1, which is naturally occurring in the body.

Viridal Duo works by widening the blood vessels in your penis, which will increase the flow of blood to your penis, therefore, helping you to get an erection and maintain one.

If you have a low level of prostaglandin E1, your doctor may prescribe you Viridal Duo. It may also be prescribed to you if other types of erectile dysfunction medication have not worked.

A Viridal Duo injection has two parts to it; these are two different chambers. Alprostadil is found within the first chamber, and there is a sodium chloride solution in the other. These two ingredients will then be mixed together to create a solution that will be injected into your penis to help treat erectile dysfunction.

Viridal Duo will be injected into your penis. Your doctor will make sure that you're aware of how to use these injections correctly. To give you a better understanding though, we will talk you through the process.

There are three things you will need for every injection:

1. An injection needle with an inner protective cap and outer protective cap
2. One cartridge, which is made up of two chambers.
3. An injector, which you can get for free when ordering a Viridal Duo starter pack.

So, let's take a look at the steps you will need to follow when using Viridal Duo:

1. You will need to make sure that the seal on the injection needle has not been broken. You can then tear the seal off.
2. Put the needle onto the end of the injector. You can do this by screwing it in a clockwise direction until it is secure and tight. You must always do this prior to the cartridge being inserted.
3. The plunger now needs to be unscrewed from the injector. Use an alcohol swab to clean the tip of the cartridge. You can now insert this into the injector's transparent body. Make sure you carefully advance the bulge into the groove of the injector.
4. The plunger should now be screwed onto the back thread of the injector body.
5. Hold the injector with the needle facing upward. Push the plunger forward until the two grey stoppers on the cartridge meet. You will notice that the liquid passes into the chamber at the front and the powder will dissolve within just a couple of seconds. Gently shake the injector until there are no longer any bits. The bubbles can cause the solution to appear a little bit cloudy, but this will clear quickly.
6. The inner and outer protective caps of the needle should now be removed. Make sure you do not touch anything with the top of the needle, though, as this needs to stay sterile, clean, and free from germs.
7. While holding the injector with the needle pointing upward, vigorously tap against the injector until all bubbles have moved upward. Advance the plunger cautiously until one drop of the solution leaves the needle. The air needs to be removed from the cartridge.
8. You can now set the dose that has been prescribed to you by your doctor. To do this, simply move the injector's plunger slowly in an upward motion until the upper point of the front grey stopper has reached the dose that you have been prescribed.
9. Make sure you have thoroughly cleaned your penis and use an alcohol swab to clean the injection site. Draw your penis away from your body slightly and wait until the injection site is dry. Your doctor will make sure you're aware of the injection site, which is on the side of your penis - do not inject this into or near the penis head.
10. Hold the injector level with your penis and insert the needle as straight as possible into your penis. You always need to alternate the side of the penis you use. So, if the injection was inserted into the left side of your penis a few days ago, insert it into the right side this time. Push your thumb onto the plunger gently and slowly inject the solution. It should take you between five and 10 seconds to do this.
11. Once you have finished the injection, carefully remove the needle and the injector. If there is any bleeding, use a clean pad to apply pressure to the area. This should stop bleeding within a few minutes, but keep applying pressure until it has. It should take between five and 15 minutes for you to develop an erection, and it should not last any longer than one hour. If your erection lasts for more than two hours, discuss this with your GP. If it lasts for more than four hours, make sure you call your doctor straight away. This is very important.

If Viridal Duo does not work, the best thing to do is get in touch with your doctor to discuss this. Your doctor will either increase the dosage or recommend another type of treatment. Do not try and adjust the treatment yourself or try an alternative solution without speaking to your doctor first.

You are not advised to take Viagra with Viridal Duo. Both medications are a treatment for erectile dysfunction, and you are not advised to take more than one treatment for erectile problems at the same time.

There are three different strengths of Viridal Duo: 10, 20, or 40 micrograms, yet you may not need to use the full amount.

Your doctor will advise how many micrograms of Viridal Duo you should take. You will typically start with 2.5 or 5 micrograms, although in some cases it can be less than this depending on your medical history and the reason for the erectile problems you're encountering. Your doctor will then increase your dosage if required, but you will never reach the stage of using more than 40 micrograms at one time.

You should never use more than the amount that the doctor has prescribed to you, as you're putting yourself at risk of unpleasant side effects and long-lasting problems. Always follow the doctor's instructions.

In most cases, you are not advised to start off with Viridal Duo. However, there are instances whereby your doctor may recommend starting off with this medication. This could be because of something in your medical history or due to the cause of your erectile problems. In most cases, though, you will start off on another type of erectile dysfunction treatment.

The main reason for this is because Viridal Duo is provided in injection form, which means you will need to inject the solution into your penis. This can be a bit difficult for a beginner, and so doctors will often not go down this route when they are prescribing the first course of treatment for erectile dysfunction. However, if the initial treatment does not work, and it is likely that your doctor will then decide to prescribe Viridal Duo to you.

If you are allergic to alprostadil or any of the other ingredients in Viridal Duo, you should not use this medication. You should also not use this medication if you have a penis implant, disease of the penis, or a penis deformity, or you have been advised not to have sexual intercourse for medical reasons. This is also applicable to individuals who have multiple myeloma, leukaemia, or sickle-cell disease.

Your doctor will want to know if you currently have or have ever had temporary changes to your vision, hearing, or speech, as well as fainting spells, lung problems, or heart problems.

Your doctor will also enquire as to whether you are taking any medications, specifically, blood clotting agents, antihypertensives, blood thinners, antidepressants, or any other sort of medications to treat erection issues.

No, it is not advisable to use Viridal Duo with other treatments for improved results. In fact, when it comes to treatment for erectile dysfunction, you are only ever advised to use one treatment at a time. Treatments are not designed to be used together. This is because the risks associated with using two different types of treatments far outweigh any of the benefits that you may experience.

Viridal Duo should be taken before you want to engage in sexual contact. It will take between five and 15 minutes for you to develop an erection. You should not use more than one dose of Viridal Duo in a 24 hour period. Moreover, you are advised to make sure you do not take Viridal Duo more than two or three times per week.

You should never use more than 40 micrograms in one injection of Viridal Duo. In fact, most men will only need between 10 and 20 micrograms for each injection, and this is why it is imperative to make sure you follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage.

To begin with, your doctor will typically give you a starting dose of either 5 or 2.5 micrograms. However, if you're experiencing erectile problems because of neurological issues, your doctor will start your treatment with a dose of 1.25 micrograms. Everyone is different, so it is imperative that you follow the dosage instructions that you have been provided with.

After this, your doctor will increase your dose, either by 5 or 2.5 micrograms at a time. This will be done until the correct dose is reached. The correct dose is one whereby you are able to get and maintain an erection that does not last for longer than one hour.

When taking these injections, it is imperative that you have a minimum of a 24-hour gap between each injection. Moreover, you should not use the injections more than two or three times per week.

It is best to take Viridal Duo between five and 15 minutes before you wish to have an erection, as this is typically how long it will take for an erection to develop if you use this treatment.

It does not take long for Viridal Duo to work. Typically, you will develop an erection within five to 15 minutes of your injection.

The erection you experience after taking Viridal Duo should last no longer than one hour. If your erection lasts between two and four hours, this is something you should speak with your doctor about. If it lasts for more than four hours, get in touch with your doctor right away. This is an urgent medical problem that must not be ignored.

You should stop taking Viridal Duo if you're having erections that last for longer than four hours. You should also stop taking this medication if you are experiencing unpleasant side effects.

If you have any of the following symptoms, you should seek medical help straight away:

• Skin reactions, such as blistering and rashes
• A severe allergic reaction that is causing dizziness and difficulty breathing

The side effects of Viridal Duo are not usually permanent. However, it does depend on the nature of the side effects you're experiencing and how severe they are. If you notice any side effects and they do not subside quickly, the best thing to do is get in touch with your doctor so that you can get the treatment needed and reduce the chances of any of the symptoms or side effects becoming permanent.

When you fill in the questionnaire after your order, make sure the online doctor is informed of any medicines you are taking at the moment. This includes herbal medicines and medicines bought without a prescription as well. This is important because your doctor will need to ensure that the medication is safe.

You should not use Viridal Duo in conjunction with any other type of medicine for erectile dysfunction. You may also experience a higher risk of bleeding after the injection if you are taking medicines to stop blood clots, such as heparin or warfarin.

Aside from this, Viridal Duo may also increase the effects of medicines designed to lower blood pressure. If you are taking medicine to lower your blood pressure, you may feel dizzy after the injection. If this happens, you should lie down or sit down until the symptoms pass. Medicines that can lower blood pressure include the following:

• Nitrates such as glyceryl trinitrate, isosorbide mononitrate, and amyl nitrate (poppers)
• Moxonidine
• Minoxidil
• Methyldopa
• Hydralazine
• Diuretics such as furosemide or bendroflumethiazide
• Beta-blockers such as propranolol or atenolol
• Angiotensin II receptor antagonists such as losartan, valsartan
• Alpha-blockers such as doxazosin, tamsulosin
• Aliskiren
• ACE inhibitors such as enalapril, captopril
• Diazoxide
• Clonidine
• Calcium-channel blockers such as diltiazem, nifedipine

There are a number of different treatments that can be used to treat erectile dysfunction. Viridal Duo is taken in injection form, yet there are also oral medications.

Some of the most common oral medications are as follows:

• Avanafil (Spedra)
• Vardenafil (Levitra, Staxyn)
• Tadalafil (Adcirca, Cialis)
• Sildenafil (Viagra)

The four medications mentioned enhance the impact of nitric oxide, which is a chemical that occurs naturally in your body and relaxes the muscles in your penis. This will boost the flow of blood to your penis, enabling you to get an erection in response to sexual stimulation.

This is one of the main differences between Viridal Duo and oral medication. With oral medication, an erection is not automatically produced. Sexual stimulation is first required so that there is a nitric oxide release from your penile nerves. That signal will be amplified by taking one of these medications, enabling normal penile function in some men.

Your doctor is always going to carefully consider your specific situation when determining what sort of medication is going to be best for you.

Like Viridal Duo, there are other self-injection solutions, like Edex and Caverject. You may also be prescribed an alprostadil urethral suppository instead. With this option, a tiny alprostadil suppository will be placed in the penile urethra inside of your penis. A special applicator is supplied so you can do this. With this solution, you will typically experience an erection within ten minutes, and it will last between half-an-hour and a full hour.

Some doctors may also recommend testosterone replacement therapy, as well as penis implants, surgery, or the use of penis pumps.

Caverject is simply another trade name for alprostadil. The active ingredient in this medication is alprostadil, and they can be sold under different trade and brand names. Both Caverject and Viridal Duo are brand names.
