Uprima (apomorphine) is a drug designed to help men who suffer from erectile dysfunction to achieve and maintain an erection when sexually stimulated. This stimulation can be either physical or visual. Uprima is not approved for use in women. Uprima will not increase your sex drive and will only work if you are sexually excited. Uprima should not be used by patients who take medications containing ingredients that could interact with the brain chemical dopamine. These medications include some anti-depressants and anti-psychotic drugs. Initial clinical tests indicate that patients who take medication containing nitrates have not been adversely affected by Uprima. Although the claim is yet to be validated, and researchers suggest caution should be taken, this would be an advantage for men who take medications containing nitrates for angina and other heart conditions. The PDE-5 inhibitors (Viagra, Cialis and Levitra) work by increasing the levels of nitric oxide in the body, which helps dilate blood vessels in the penis and produce an erection. Therefore, men who take any form of medication containing nitrates (including nitroglycerin) have not been able to sample Uprima impotence medications. Uprima is not a permanent "cure" for impotence (erectile dysfunction). Uprima will not protect you against sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV, nor will it act as a contraceptive. Protective measures should be taken to guard against these possibilities. Uprima is not intended for use by women, children or men who don't have an existing impotence problem. It is not advisable to take Uprima in conjunction with any other impotence medication. Avoid drinking alcohol when taking Uprima. It can increase some of the side effects of apomorphine. Cold or allergy medicine, narcotic pain medicine, sleeping pills, muscle relaxers, and medicine for seizures, depression or anxiety can add to sleepiness caused by apomorphine. Tell your doctor if you regularly use any of these other medicines. Apomorphine can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert. |
