Papaverine Hydrochloride 30mg/2mL Injection

Product Introduction

Papaverine Hydrochloride 30mg/2mL Injection is an injectable smooth-muscle relaxant and vasodilator used only under clinician direction for selected spasm or vascular indications. Papaverine relaxes smooth muscle in blood vessels and other tissues by increasing intracellular cyclic nucleotides. Because injection route and indication vary, it should not be self-used or repurposed as a sexual aid without specialist prescription. Intracavernosal use for erectile dysfunction can cause prolonged erection or priapism requiring urgent treatment to prevent permanent damage. Papaverine should not be mixed with incompatible fluids such as Lactated Ringer's where precipitation is a concern.

How to use

Papaverine Hydrochloride 30mg/2mL Injection is administered only as directed by trained healthcare professionals or a specifically instructed specialist plan. Route, dilution, and monitoring depend on the indication.

How it works

Papaverine relaxes smooth muscle and dilates blood vessels by increasing cyclic nucleotide activity in smooth-muscle cells.

Common side effects
