Apomorphine 2mg Sublingual Tablets

Product Introduction

Apomorphine 2mg is a sublingual medicine for erectile dysfunction in adult men. It supports the brain pathways that initiate an erection in response to sexual stimulation. This low-dose tablet presentation is distinct from apomorphine injection regimens used for Parkinson's disease.

How to use

Place the tablet under the tongue about 20 minutes before sexual activity and let it dissolve; do not chew it or swallow it whole. A small sip of water beforehand helps if the mouth is dry. Allow at least eight hours before another dose. Sexual stimulation is needed for a response.

How it works

Apomorphine stimulates dopamine receptors in brain centres involved in erection. These signals enhance the normal nerve response to arousal, leading to nitric-oxide-mediated relaxation and increased blood flow in penile tissue. It does not act by inhibiting PDE5.

Side effects

Nausea, dizziness, headache, yawning and sleepiness may occur. A sudden fall in blood pressure can cause fainting, sometimes preceded by sweating, pallor or nausea. Lie down with the legs raised if warning symptoms develop; persistent faintness or loss of consciousness requires urgent help.

Important information

It is not used when sexual activity is unsafe because of unstable angina, a recent heart attack, severe heart failure or marked hypotension. Tell your doctor about fainting, kidney or liver impairment and medicines such as nitrates or other blood-pressure-lowering drugs. Alcohol can worsen hypotension. Do not add another erectile-dysfunction medicine to the same occasion because combined effects have not been adequately established.
