C
Feedback:
Apomorphine (Uprima), a dopamine agonist, is a possible alternative to phosphodiesterase (PDE5) inhibitors, such as sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), and vardenafil (Levitra) for the treatment of ED. Uprima is safer for men with CAD and does not cause mass vasodilation of the blood vessels such as the PDE5 inhibitors.
