Which is NOT an adverse effect of alprostadil when used for erectile dysfunction (ED)?

  1. Nausea

  2. Priapism

  3. Penile pain

  4. Flushes

The correct answer is: Nausea

Nausea is NOT an adverse effect of alprostadil when used for erectile dysfunction (ED). Alprostadil is a medication that works by dilating blood vessels and increasing blood flow in the penis, leading to an erection. The common adverse effects of alprostadil include priapism (an erection lasting longer than 4 hours), penile pain, and flushes (redness and warmth in the face or neck). Nausea is not typically associated with alprostadil use for ED.
