What is Caverject?
Caverject is a clinically proven treatment for erectile dysfunction. The Caverject injection is administered directly to the penis and has an almost immediate effect.
Caverject is the branded version of alprostadil, a manufactured hormone which mimics prostaglandin E1. Prostaglandin E1 is a hormone that occurs naturally in the body and which is responsible for dilating blood vessels. Drugs containing alprostadil are used in a range of 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, the physiological processes required to get an erection tend to operate less effectively; Caverject can solve that problem. Clinical studies show that the Caverject injection helps around 70% of men to achieve an erection powerful enough for them to have sex.
Despite this, Caverject is not usually the first treatment recommended by GPs; standard practice is to recommend other treatments containing PDE-5 inhibitors, such as Cialis, in the first instance and only offer Caverject or alternative drugs containing alprostadil if the PDE-5 inhibitors are unsuccessful.

Directions for Caverject
For full instructions on how to use Caverject 10 mcg, consult your Patient Information Leaflet.
- Your prescriber will usually recommend a starting dose of 1.25-2.5 micrograms or 5-20 micrograms, depending on your circumstances and medical history.
- Trial and error may be used to find the right dosage; it is important that a too-high dose isn't used, as it could result in a prolonged, painful erection.
- The most common dosage is 5-20 micrograms, however some men will find that they need a higher dose; this 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 Caverject more than once in 24 hours or more than three times in a week.
- Change the location and side of the penis that you inject Caverject into each time you use it.
- This is a single use medication; any unused contents of the syringe should be discarded.
- Do not use the Caverject 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 and the erection should subside no longer than an hour after taking the treatment.* If your erection lasts longer than four hours, you should contact your doctor or other healthcare provider to seek medical advice.
If Caverject 10 mcg does not work well enough, talk to 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 Caverject Powder for Injection, your doctor should have given you advice about using this medication.
*Disclaimer: Individual results may vary.
Side effects of Caverject
Whilst Caverject is known as an effective treatment of erectile dysfunction, some users experience side effects. These can include:
- Penile pain. This is a common side effect, with more than 1 in 10 users reporting penis pain. However, the pain is short-lived. If the pain doesn’t pass quickly, or if it is very severe, seek medical attention.
- Mild bruising, discolouration or swelling at the injection site. This isn’t uncommon the first few times you use Caverject, but will diminish over time.
- Scarring, bruising or bending of the penis. This is an uncommon side effect and is more likely to occur when someone has been using Caverject or a similar treatment for a long time. If this happens, speak to your doctor; they may advise that you stop using it for a while.
- Painful and prolonged erections. This can occur if the dose is too high. If you have had an erection for more than four hours, seek medical advice.
- Muscle spasms.
There are a few uncommon side effects of Caverject, which affect less than 1 in 100 users. If you experience any of the following, you should seek medical attention immediately:
- Swelling, inflammation or irritation around the injection site – these may be itchy or bleed.
- Numbness.
- Swollen, red or painful testicles.
- An erection that lasts more than 4 hours.
- Lumps in the testicles – these could be spermatoceles; small cysts containing sperm.
- Changes to blood pressure or heart rhythm.
- Changes to urination or trouble urinating, e.g. needing to urinate more frequently pain while urinating or difficulty urinating.
- Blood in the urine – this can be the result of accidentally injecting the medicine into the urethra.
- Pelvic pain, sweating, nausea, weakness, or flu-like symptoms.

- You are at risk of priapism (a painful, prolonged erection that lasts over 6 hours);
- You have a disease or injury of your urethra or penis;
