  • For men only: Not for use by women or children.

Eroxon gel is a clinically proven, topical treatment for erectile dysfunction. Using it correctly is essential for the best results. This guide explains step‑by‑step how to apply it, who can use it, and important safety information based on the official patient information leaflet.

Important safety information

Do not use Eroxon gel if: you are allergic to any ingredient, you have been advised to avoid sexual activity, you have a penile deformity (e.g. Peyronie's disease), or the skin on your penis is red, sore, damaged or broken. If you experience an erection lasting more than 4 hours, seek immediate medical help.

How to Take: Step-by-Step Usage Guide

Follow these steps carefully to ensure the gel works effectively.

  1. Open the tube: Twist off the cap. Use the pointed top of the cap to pierce the seal of the tube.
  2. Prepare the area: If you are uncircumcised, gently pull your foreskin back as far as comfortable. This allows the gel to reach the glans (head of the penis).
  3. Squeeze the gel: Squeeze the entire contents of one tube onto the glans. You'll get about a pea‑sized amount – that's the correct dose.
  4. Massage for 15 seconds: Using your finger (or your partner's finger), gently massage the gel into the glans for around 15 seconds. Cover the area evenly.
  5. Engage in foreplay: The cooling sensation will start within seconds, followed by a warming feeling. Continue sexual stimulation – the gel only helps you get an erection if you are sexually excited.

🗒️ Tip: You or your partner can apply the gel as part of foreplay. It's safe to use with personal lubricants (the gel itself is not a lubricant).

Dosage Guide: How Much Gel to Apply

Eroxon gel comes in single‑use tubes. The correct dose is exactly one full tube per application. Do not use half a tube – the entire contents are needed to deliver the full cooling‑warming effect. Each tube contains approximately 0.5 mL of gel, roughly a pea‑sized amount.

If you accidentally apply too little (e.g., some gel misses the glans), you can apply a second tube, but wait 30 minutes and check for any skin sensitivity. One tube is sufficient for one session. There is no need to adjust dosage based on age or weight; the gel works locally and the same amount is suitable for all men.

Frequency: You can use Eroxon every time you engage in sexual activity. Do not use more than one tube at a time.

Who Should Use Eroxon Gel and Who Should Not

Who should use: Eroxon gel is for adult men (18 years and over) who have trouble getting or keeping an erection hard enough for satisfactory sexual activity (erectile dysfunction). It is suitable for many men, including those who cannot take oral tablets due to side effects or interactions.

Who should NOT use Eroxon:

  • Men allergic to any ingredient (Aqua, ethanol 35%, propylene glycol, glycerine, carbomer, potassium hydroxide).
  • Men who have been advised by their doctor to avoid sexual activity (e.g., due to recent heart attack or unstable angina).
  • Men with any disease or deformity of the penis, such as Peyronie's disease (curved/ painful erections).
  • If the skin on your penis is red, sore, damaged, or broken.
  • Men with conditions that might cause priapism (sickle cell anaemia, leukaemia, multiple myeloma) – consult your doctor first.

If you have heart problems, diabetes, high blood pressure, or feel chest pain during mild activity, speak to your doctor before using Eroxon. Erectile dysfunction can be a sign of underlying illness – get a check‑up if you haven't recently.

Using Eroxon Gel with Food or Drink

Eroxon gel is applied to the skin, not swallowed. Therefore, it is not affected by food or drink. You can eat, drink alcohol, or take other medications as normal – there are no known interactions with food or beverages. However, excessive alcohol can affect your ability to get an erection, so it's best to drink in moderation.

Unlike oral ED tablets, you do not need to worry about taking Eroxon on an empty or full stomach. Just apply it when you're ready for sex.

Special Conditions & Warnings

Heart health: Sexual activity can put extra strain on your heart. If you have a heart condition or think you might, talk to your doctor before using Eroxon.

Underlying illness: If you haven't seen a doctor recently, it's important to have a medical check‑up within the first 6 months of using Eroxon to rule out serious conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease.

Priapism risk: If you have ever had an erection lasting more than 4 hours (priapism) or conditions like sickle cell anaemia, leukaemia, or multiple myeloma, consult your doctor before use.

Skin sensitivity: Rarely, Eroxon may cause mild skin irritation (burning, itching, soreness). If you or your partner experience irritation, stop using it and speak to your doctor or pharmacist if it persists.

Condom use: Eroxon is compatible with latex condoms. It does not weaken latex. However, it is not a lubricant – you can use additional personal lubricant if needed.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding (Not Applicable)

Eroxon gel is intended for use by men only. It is not used by women, so there is no direct application during pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, if your partner is pregnant or breastfeeding, there are no known risks from the gel during sexual activity, as the gel is applied topically and minimally absorbed. If you have specific concerns, you can discuss them with your doctor or pharmacist.
