Caverject Dual Chamber is used for erectile dysfunction including weak erections or impotence.
Caverject Dual Chamber should be administered by direct intracavernosal injection using the needle provided. The usual injection site is along the dorsolateral aspect of the proximal third of the penis. Visible veins should be avoided. View the Caverject Dual Chamber guidance for patients here.
An erection induced by this medicine should typically occur within 5 to 20 minutes and remain for about an hour. The manufacturer advises using this drug no more than three times weekly, with a minimum of one day between each dose.
There are two variations of Caverject: Caverject Dual Chamber and Caverject Vials. The Caverject powder is the component that makes the vial and dual chamber active. The key difference is that, if you choose the dual chamber, the solution and powder chambers are in the device; all you need to do to combine them is turn the plunger. If you choose the vials, you will need to mix the powder with the supplied liquid solution together before injecting.
