Description
Caverject is a prescription medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult men. It contains alprostadil, a naturally occurring substance that helps increase blood flow to the penis.
When injected directly into the erectile tissue, it works by relaxing the blood vessels and muscles in the penis, allowing blood to flow in and produce an erection that is firm enough for sexual activity.
Unlike oral ED medications, Caverject acts locally and does not depend on sexual stimulation to begin working. Its effects are typically felt within 5 to 20 minutes after injection and can last for about 30 to 60 minutes, though the exact duration varies depending on the individual. This makes it a reliable option for men who have not responded well to oral treatments or who are unable to take them due to other health conditions or medications.
Caverject is supplied as a powder and diluent that are mixed before use, and it comes with a very fine needle for self-injection into the side of the penis. It is important to follow the instructions carefully to avoid complications and to rotate injection sites to prevent tissue damage.
Common side effects may include mild pain at the injection site, a feeling of fullness in the penis, or slight bruising. Rare but serious side effects include prolonged erection (priapism) or penile fibrosis (scarring). Caverject should not be used more than once in a 24-hour period, and no more than three times per week.
General Information
Caverject is a prescription medication containing alprostadil, used to help men achieve and maintain an erection. It is given as an injection directly into the penis.
Caverject is mainly used to treat erectile dysfunction (difficulty in getting or keeping an erection). It may also be used by doctors to help diagnose the cause of erectile problems.
Caverject works by widening blood vessels and relaxing smooth muscle in the penis. This allows more blood to flow in, which helps create and maintain an erection.
The starting dose is usually low and is adjusted by your doctor to find the right amount for you. Most men need between 5 and 20 micrograms per injection. You should not use Caverject more than three times a week, with at least 24 hours between injections. Never exceed 60 micrograms in a single dose.
An erection usually develops within 5 to 20 minutes after the injection and typically lasts for 30 to 60 minutes.
Caverject is used as needed before sexual activity, so you do not have to take it on a regular schedule. If you miss a planned dose, simply use it next time as instructed by your doctor. Do not use more than one injection in 24 hours.
Safety & Side Effects
Common side effects include pain at the injection site, bruising, swelling, or redness. Sometimes, a prolonged erection (lasting more than 4 hours), penile fibrosis (hardening or scarring), or priapism (a painful, long-lasting erection) can occur. If you experience any serious or prolonged side effects, seek medical help immediately.
Do not use Caverject if you are allergic to alprostadil, have certain blood disorders (like sickle cell anaemia or leukaemia), have a penile implant, have a penis that is scarred or not straight, or if a doctor has advised you to avoid sexual activity due to heart problems.
Caverject can interact with some medicines, including other treatments for erectile dysfunction (like sildenafil or tadalafil) and blood pressure medications. Always let your doctor at Transtoyou know about all the medicines you are taking before starting Caverject.
Caverject is not intended for use in women and should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
There is no specific warning against moderate alcohol use with Caverject, but excessive alcohol can worsen erectile dysfunction. If you have concerns, discuss them with your doctor at Transtoyou.
Usage & Administration
Caverject is injected into the side of the penis using a very fine needle. Your doctor or nurse will show you how to prepare and inject the medicine safely at home.
Store Caverject below 25°C (77°F). Once mixed, use the solution straight away and do not keep it for later use. Do not freeze or refrigerate the mixed solution. Discard any unused solution safely.
Caverject is injected and is not affected by food, so you do not need to take it with meals.
Caverject is not available as a tablet. It comes as a powder that must be mixed with a solution and injected. Do not attempt to take it by mouth or in any other way.
