So as expected, Brotzu did not work, due to it just feeding a precursor topically. Now you ppl could go get alprostadil but no one did. Why? price and availability.
And here is your crazy solution as Brotzu original research fan:
Leeches are PGE1 factories according to the papers, they inject it to keep the blood going:
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Typical indian treatment, here a poorly done (probably no funding) case study:

Up to 60min of sustained PGE1 release sounds quite good (prostaglandins have usually just a half life of seconds):
When a leech is attached to a host, it will ingest around 5–15ml of blood — up to 10 times its body weight — in approximately 10–60 minutes before detaching itself

There is a leech oil (aka Jonk oil), where I would not be sure if it is still in there. There is a tiny amount of PGE2 analogue in onions which comes as fatty acid, so who knows, maybe the PGE1 in leeches might be more stable and availabe in the leech oil.
Consumers might be able to buy their leeches from a leechfarm or pharmacies (they are regulated accordingly by medical laws in some countries).
They dont cost much and for personal use, you can apparently even reuse them. (based on some quick googling)

Prostaglandin E1 Is an Efficient Molecular Tool for Forest Leech Blood Sucking
From a survival perspective, it is hypothesized that leech saliva exhibits certain physiological effects to ensure fast blood-feeding, including analgesia, anesthesia, and anti-inflammation to stay undetected by the host and vasodilatation and anti-hemostasis ...

Hirudotherapy: a guide to using leeches to drain blood from tissue
Leeches can be used to relieve vascular congestion caused by poor venous drainage in vascularly compromised tissue. This article describes how the treatment works and some practical considerations.
