PFIZER CAVERJECT 20McG 1 PEN (READY TO USE PEN)  APROSTADİL

Caverject contains alprostadil which is similar to the natural substance in your body called prostaglandin E1. It widens blood vessels so that blood can flow in your penis more easily. This makes it easier for you to have an erection. Caverject is used for “erectile dysfunction” including weak erections or impotence.

It takes 5-15 minutes to work and your erection will normally last for up to 1 after injection, but the duration of action will vary from patient to patient and depends upon the dose used.

How do you take Caverject (Alprostadil)?

It's important to read the patient information leaflet carefully before using Caverject.

Caverject is injected into the spongy tissue on either side of the penis called the corpus cavernosum. Do not try to learn yourself or inject if you cannot remember how to do this safely as incorrect injection can damage the penis. The patient information leaflets provide instructions of how to administer the injection and can be found in leaflet.

The dose required varies between men. Your doctor will advise on the right dose for you. The starting dose is 1.25 - 2.5 micrograms and this is then increased depending upon the results. Most men find that a dose of 5 - 20 micrograms is suitable however some men may require a higher dose. To minimise the risk of prolonged painful erection, your doctor will select the lowest effective dose. You should never use more than 40 micrograms.

Do not use Caverject more than once in 24 hours or more than three times in a week. Change the exact place and side of the penis that you inject Caverject each time you use it. 

Caverject can be used by couples wishing to conceive and with a partner who is pregnant or breast-feeding. It will not protect your partner from pregnancy or stop the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. The injection can result in a small amount of blood which can increase the risk of spreading certain sexually transmitted infections. The use of a condom is recommended to protect against sexually transmitted infections.
