Question about the formula for my first injection.

Hi guys. I’m new to injections and have a question about what my doc has set up for me. (I haven’t injected yet; I’m seeing the doc for my instruction and first shot in a few days.)

The formula he has me on is 20 papaverine, 2 phentolamine, and 0.2 atropine. No PGE. From reading here, that looks like a bimix formula plus some atropine. Is that right? Any idea why he chose this as my starting formula? Any concerns or questions I should ask?

A little background. 57 years old. No major health issues. I was on the pills successfully for a good 12 years. They began to fade over the last three years or so— and now are pretty useless. I can still get a natural erection, but it’s pretty soft and doesn’t last long.

I’m definitely ready for injections. Just wondering why I seem to have a mix that doesn’t contain any of the most powerful ingredient — the PGE stuff.

Thanks so much for any thoughts!

I think you accurately described your mix. I don't know why he prescribed that mix. Maybe he's had a larger number of guys that were especially susceptible to alprostadil pain. I'd ask him.
