Alprobotal dosing
Usual Adult Dose for Erectile Dysfunction:
Parenteral:Erectile dysfunction of vasculogenic, psychogenic or mixed etiology:
Initial: 2.5 mcg injected intracavernously into the lateral penis. If there is a partial response, the dose may be increased, within one hour, by 2.5 mcg to a dose of 5 mcg, and then in increments of 5 to 10 mcg, depending on erectile response, until the dose that produces an erection suitable for intercourse and not exceeding a duration of 1 hour is reached. If there is no response to the initial dose of 2.5 mcg dose, the second dose may be increased to 7.5 mcg within one hour, followed by increments of 5 to 10 mcg. No more than 2 doses should be given within a 24-hour period during initial titration.
Erectile dysfunction of pure neurogenic etiology :
Initial: 1.25 mcg injected intracavernously into the lateral penis. If there is a partial response, the dose may be increased,within one hour, by 1.25 mcg to a dose of 2.5 mcg, followed by an increment of 2.5 mcg to a dose of 5 mcg, and then in 5 mcg increments until the dose that produces an erection suitable for intercourse and not exceeding a duration of 1 hour is reached. No more than 2 doses should be given within a 24-hour period during initial titration.
Maximum: doses of greater that 60 mcg are not recommended.
Transurethral suppository:
The dosage strengths of Alprobotal suppositories include 125 mcg, 250 mcg, 500 mcg, and 1000 mcg per urethral suppository. The administration of these dose forms of Alprobotal requires substantial assistance and patient education by qualified health care professionals. It is recommended that patients begin with either the 125 mcg or 250 mcg urethral suppositories and increase or decrease the dose based on clinical response. The lowest dose necessary to maintain an erection suitable for intercourse and achieve full detumescence within 1 hour is optimal.
Usual Pediatric Dose for Patent Ductus Arteriosus:
Initial: Alprobotal for injection to treat patent ductus arteriosus must be administered via continuous IV infusion. Begin infusion with 0.05 to 0.1 mcg/kg/min. If the response to this initial dose is inadequate, the dosage can be increased up to 0.4 mcg/kg/min, although in general, higher infusion rates do not produce greater effects.Maintenance: after a therapeutic response is achieved, reduce the infusion rate to the lowest possible dosage that maintains the response. This may be accomplished by slowly reducing the dosage in a stepwise fashion from 0.1 to 0.05 to 0.025 to 0.01 mcg/kg/min.
