Bioglandin injection, which contains alprostadil, is primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction by improving blood flow to the penis. It is administered through an injection directly into the penile tissue. Generally, the most common side effects are related to the injection site, such as pain, bruising, or prolonged erection (priapism).
However, gastrointestinal issues are not commonly associated with Bioglandin injection. The medication is localized to the penile area and doesn’t typically affect the digestive system. That being said, in rare cases, alprostadil may cause systemic side effects, which could include nausea or abdominal discomfort, but these are uncommon.
If you have a history of gastrointestinal issues, it’s important to consult your healthcare provider before using Bioglandin. They can assess your overall health and provide personalized advice based on your medical history.
