Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), also known as alprostadil, is a naturally occurring prostaglandin which is used as a medication.In babies with congenital heart defects it is used by slow injection into a vein to open the ductus arteriosus until surgery can be carried out. By injection into the penis or placement in the urethra it is used to treat erectile dysfunction.

Common side effects when given to babies include decreased breathing, fever, and low blood pressure. When used for erectile dysfunction side effects may include penile pain, bleeding at the site of injection, and prolonged erection. Prostaglandin E1 is in the vasodilator family of medications. It works by opening blood vessels by relaxing smooth muscle.

Prostaglandin E1 was isolated in 1957 and approved for medical use in the United States in 1981.It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system. In the United Kingdom a dose costs the NHS about 75 pounds. In the United States it costs 100 to 200 USD per dose.Prostaglandin E2 works as well as prostaglandin E1 in babies; however, is much less expensive.
