Alprostadil
The pharmaceutical form of prostaglandin E1, a substance that widens blood vessels, approved in the United States in 1981: in newborns with certain congenital heart defects it keeps the ductus arteriosus open until surgery, and in adults it is used for erectile dysfunction. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities and other impurities.
Did you know?Prostaglandins owe their name to the prostate: in 1935 the Swede Ulf von Euler isolated them from seminal fluid, believing they came from this gland; in fact they are made by the seminal vesicles and many other tissues.
