How does Caverject work?
Caverject injections UK are a clinically proven treatment for erectile dysfunction. The ED injection is administered directly to the penis and has an almost immediate effect.
Caverject is a branded product containing alprostadil, a manufactured hormone which mimics prostaglandin E1. Prostaglandin E1 is a hormone that occurs naturally in the body and is responsible for dilating blood vessels. Drugs containing the active ingredient alprostadil are used in various medical contexts to dilate blood vessels and thin the blood.
For people who experience difficulty achieving an erection, Caverject is effective as it helps to improve the blood flow to the penis, making it easier to achieve and maintain an erection long enough for an individual to enjoy sexual activity.
What is Caverject used for?
As men age, or following an illness like prostate cancer, getting or maintaining an erection can become more difficult; Caverject can solve that problem. Clinical studies show that the injection helps around 70% of men achieve an erection powerful enough for them to have sex (5).
Despite this, ED injections are not usually the first treatment recommended by a doctor. The standard practice is to recommend treatments called PDE-5 inhibitors, which are erectile dysfunction tablets like Cialis, in the first instance and only offer Caverject or alternative drugs containing alprostadil if multiple PDE-5 inhibitors have been unsuccessful on around six occasions each.

How to use Caverject (Alprostadil)
You must only inject yourself once a doctor or specialist has shown you to use this product. Once you have done this, you can refer to the Pfizer directions for use guide to refresh your memory on how to use the injection.
Once your injection is prepared as demonstrated in the user guide and you are ready to inject, you should follow these steps:
- Wipe the injection site with an alcohol swab and let it dry.
- Do not discard the swab; you will need to use it again after administering your shot.
- If your penis is not circumcised, pull back the foreskin. Hold the tip of your penis with your thumb and forefinger and extend it lengthwise along your thigh.
- Gently squeeze your penis between your thumb and finger, causing the injection site to flare out.
- Take the lid off the needle. Position your penis firmly against your thigh to prevent it from moving during the injection.
- Keeping a firm grasp on your penis, grab the syringe in your other hand and insert the needle directly into the correct injection spot.
Additional Caverject information:
For full instructions on how to use these injections, you can refer to the Patient Information Leaflet.
Your prescriber will usually recommend a starting dose of 1.25-2.5 micrograms or 5-20 micrograms. This will depend on your circumstances and medical history.
Trial and error may be used to find the right dosage; a too-high dose mustn't be used, as it could result in a prolonged, painful erection (priapism).
The most common dosage is 5-20 micrograms, however, some men will find that they need a higher dose; which should never exceed 60 micrograms.
If the recommended dose doesn't work for you, do not change it without consulting your prescriber.
Do not use this treatment more than once in 24 hours or more than three times a week.
Change the location and side of the penis where you inject each time you use it.
This is a single-use medication; any unused contents of the syringe should be discarded.
Do not use the solution if the inside of the injection is non-transparent or contains small pieces.
It is normal for it to take a short while to achieve an erection after administering Caverject. The erection should subside no longer than an hour after taking the treatment.*
If your erection lasts longer than four hours (priapism), you should seek urgent medical advice.
If the 10mcg does not work well enough, consult your doctor for guidance. Do not change your dose unless your doctor tells you to.
If you are using Caverject Dual Chamber for the first time and you have previously used the powder for injection, your doctor should have given you advice about using this medication.
*Disclaimer: Individual results may vary.
