ABOUT THE MEDICATION
Hezkue is a prescription-only mouth spray used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. ED is when you cannot get, or keep, an erection firm enough for satisfactory sex. Hezkue contains sildenafil, the same active ingredient as Viagra, but instead of a tablet it comes as a mint-flavoured liquid (an oromucosal suspension) that you spray onto your tongue and swallow.
Sildenafil belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, the same family that includes tadalafil (Cialis) and avanafil (Spedra).
KEY FACTS
One practical advantage of Hezkue is that there is no tablet to swallow and no water is needed, which suits men who find tablets difficult or who prefer a more discreet option.
Each press of the pump delivers 12.5 mg of sildenafil, and your clinician will tell you how many pumps to use.
Hezkue is taken only when you need it rather than every day. It treats the symptoms of ED but does not cure the condition.
Hezkue can be used with or without food, but it may take longer to work after a heavy meal.
Hezkue only works if you are sexually stimulated. It will not cause an erection on its own.
Take about an hour before sex
Use with or without food
Median 25 minutes to an erection
Can still help 4 to 5 hours after the dose
HOW HEZKUE WORKS
When you are sexually aroused, your body releases a substance called nitric oxide in the penis. This raises the level of a chemical messenger called cGMP, which relaxes the muscle in the walls of the blood vessels so that blood can flow into the penis and produce an erection.
Hezkue only works if you are sexually stimulated. It will not cause an erection on its own. It treats the symptoms of ED but does not cure the condition.
In Practice
An enzyme called PDE5 normally breaks cGMP down. Sildenafil blocks PDE5, so cGMP lasts longer and it becomes easier to get and keep an erection.
Hezkue and Viagra are both taken about an hour before sex. A heavy meal may delay the time it takes to work.
In men who had not eaten, the median time to an erection firm enough for sex was 25 minutes after dosing, and sildenafil could still help produce an erection 4 to 5 hours after the dose.
DOSING & HOW TO USE
The usual dose is 4 pumps (2 mL, equivalent to 50 mg of sildenafil), taken about an hour before sex, only when you need it.
Shake the bottle vigorously for about 20 seconds before every use.
Remove the child-resistant cap by pushing it down and turning it anticlockwise. Slide the pump's plastic tube into the bottle and screw the pump on clockwise until it is secure, then turn the nozzle to the open position.
Before every dose, including the first, prime the pump by pressing it 3 times into a tissue and throwing that liquid away. If you skip this step you may get a lower dose.
Tilt your head back slightly, open your mouth and hold the bottle near your chin. Press the pump the number of times your clinician has prescribed, spraying onto your tongue, then swallow straight away with your saliva. Try not to let the nozzle touch your mouth or tongue.
Turn the nozzle to the closed position, unscrew the pump, tap the tube against the inside of the bottle to remove excess liquid and replace the cap straight away.
Wash the pump with water, press it several times into a tissue to clear it, and let it dry fully before next use.
Hezkue is for use in the mouth only. Do not spray it into your nose or onto your skin.
Side Effects
Most side effects of Hezkue are mild to moderate.
The most common is headache, which may affect more than 1 in 10 people.
Other common side effects, which may affect up to 1 in 10 people, include flushing, indigestion, feeling sick, a blocked nose, dizziness, blurred vision and changes to colour vision (such as a blue tinge).
Less common side effects include vomiting, a fast or pounding heartbeat, dry mouth, muscle aches, a runny or blocked nose and nosebleeds.
Get medical help straight away if you notice any of the following: • an erection that lasts more than 4 hours (priapism), which must be treated quickly to avoid lasting damage to the penis • a sudden decrease or loss of vision • a sudden decrease or loss of hearing • signs of a serious skin reaction, such as severe peeling or swelling of the skin, blisters in the mouth, bumps on the genitals or around the eyes, or fever • seizures or fits If you get chest pain during or after sex, get into a semi-sitting position, try to relax and contact a doctor immediately. Do not use a nitrate to treat the chest pain, and tell the medical team that you have used Hezkue and when. Stop using Hezkue and get medical help immediately if you show signs of a serious allergic reaction, such as sudden wheezing, shortness of breath, dizziness, or swelling of the eyelids, face, lips or throat.
EFFECTIVENESS
82%
of men taking 100 mg reported improved erections
In fixed-dose studies, 62% of men taking 25 mg, 74% taking 50 mg and 82% taking 100 mg reported that their erections improved, compared with 25% on placebo.
69%
of men with heart disease reported improvements
Sildenafil also worked for many men with other health conditions, with improvements reported by 59% of men with diabetes, 68% of men with high blood pressure and 69% of men with heart disease.
How well Hezkue works varies from person to person and depends on your dose and your general health. Hezkue contains sildenafil, which has been studied in clinical trials involving more than 8,000 men aged 19 to 87.
Hezkue comes as a 30 mL bottle in one strength: each pump delivers 12.5 mg of sildenafil. The usual dose is 4 pumps (50 mg), which can be lowered to 2 pumps (25 mg) or raised to 8 pumps (100 mg).
What to Expect
Hezkue and Viagra are both taken about an hour before sex. A heavy meal may delay the time it takes to work.
In men who had not eaten, the median time to an erection firm enough for sex was 25 minutes after dosing, and sildenafil could still help produce an erection 4 to 5 hours after the dose.
Never use Hezkue more than once a day, and never take more than 8 pumps (100 mg) in a day.

Drug and food interactions
Never use Hezkue with nitrate medicines or nitric oxide donors such as amyl nitrite, as the combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
This angina medicine contains a nitrate component and can cause a serious interaction with sildenafil.
Grapefruit juice may modestly increase sildenafil levels.
Must not be used with Hezkue.
Using Hezkue with the HIV medicine ritonavir is not advised.
Medicines such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, erythromycin, cimetidine and some HIV medicines increase sildenafil levels, so a starting dose of 2 pumps (25 mg) should be considered.
Tell your clinician if you take this heart failure medicine, as extra caution is needed when starting Hezkue.
Do not use Hezkue with any other medicine containing sildenafil (including sildenafil for pulmonary arterial hypertension) or any other treatment for erectile dysfunction.
Always tell your healthcare provider about everything you take, including prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, vitamins and herbal supplements.
ELIGIBILITY
Hezkue is for men aged 18 and over who have erectile dysfunction. It is not for women, and it will not help if you do not have ED. Before prescribing, a FromMars clinician will review your medical history, your heart health, your blood pressure and any other medicines you take.
• take any form of nitrate medicine for chest pain (angina), such as glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), or use nitric oxide donors such as amyl nitrite ("poppers") • take riociguat, a medicine for high blood pressure in the lungs • are allergic to sildenafil or any of the other ingredients
• have a heart condition that makes sexual activity inadvisable, such as unstable angina or severe heart failure • have recently had a stroke or a heart attack • have low blood pressure (below 90/50 mmHg) • have severe liver problems
• have lost sight in one eye because of non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) • have an inherited degenerative eye condition such as retinitis pigmentosa
Safety
Drinking alcohol can temporarily make it harder to get an erection. To get the most from your medicine, avoid drinking large amounts of alcohol before using Hezkue.
Sexual activity puts some strain on the heart. Your clinician will consider your heart health before prescribing. Men with narrowing of the heart's outflow valve (aortic stenosis), hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy or multiple system atrophy can be particularly sensitive to medicines like Hezkue. Serious heart and circulation events have been reported rarely, mostly in men with existing heart problems.
Seek immediate medical help if an erection lasts longer than 4 hours. Hezkue should be used with caution if you have a condition affecting the shape of your penis (such as Peyronie's disease) or a condition that increases the risk of priapism (such as sickle cell anaemia, multiple myeloma or leukaemia).
Visual changes, including NAION, have been reported with sildenafil and other PDE5 inhibitors. Stop using Hezkue and contact a doctor immediately if your vision suddenly changes.
Taking Hezkue with an alpha-blocker can cause dizziness or light-headedness, most often within 4 hours of the dose. You should be on a stable dose of your alpha-blocker first, and your clinician may start you on 2 pumps (25 mg).
Hezkue should only be used after a careful assessment if you have a bleeding disorder (such as haemophilia) or an active stomach ulcer.
Your clinician may start you on a lower dose.
Hezkue can cause dizziness and affect your vision. Be aware of how you react to it before you drive or use machinery.
Hezkue is not for use by women or by anyone under 18.
Ongoing Care
Before your first prescription, a FromMars clinician reviews your consultation, including your heart health, blood pressure and other medicines. Each time you reorder, you will be asked to confirm whether anything has changed, such as a new diagnosis or a new medicine.
If you need extra support at any point, whether about side effects, changing your dose, switching medicines or anything else, you can message one of our clinicians.
ED can sometimes be an early sign of other health problems, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, raised cholesterol or diabetes, so it is worth having these checked with your GP. Lifestyle changes such as stopping smoking, cutting down on alcohol, staying active and keeping to a healthy weight can also improve erections over time.
