Good day guys,

In Canada, CAVERJECT has been out of stock for more than a year now... Is it the same thing in the USA and other parts of the world?

I don't know.

I originally started on Caverject's competitor, Edex. Due to cost I switched to a compounded substitute, a mono-mix of alprostadil in bacteriostatic water. I sourced it from a compounding pharmacy that is certified to compound injection meds. It has worked well for me. I did get my doctor to write the script stronger at 80mcg/ml so I could inject less. You could see if it can be sourced in Canada or if near the border you could possibly get a script and pick it up in the U.S. As it comes already dissolved in water it should be kept frozen between use.
Good luck.

Hello bldoink
[quote][/it should be kept frozen between use]

I am doing the same exact thing (80mcg/m ) as you stated from a copounding pharmay. According to the pharmacy they stated is to refregidate the mix. I bought 2 X5 ml and i did not freeze and the shelf life is 3 month. I barley used 1 vial. From your experience if I froze do you think it will it work and will it extend the shelf life more than 3 month?
Thanks

I've used alprostadil mono-mix that was kept frozen that was well over a year old. It worked fine. The stuff I'm using now is 6 months old, and kept frozen. It works like new.

I'm also using a compounded substitute right now, but I don't find it as practical as Caverject, especially when travelling, because it needs to be refrigerated.

Yes, when traveling the Caverject and Edex cartridges have benefits. However, I haven't found traveling with the compounded mix to be that troublesome.

Why not use Trimix, or Bimix. I live in Ontario, and had no trouble getting Trimix.

Originally my family doctor ordered Caverjet but the cost was outrageous, so I got a referral for a urologist who set me up with Trimix.
Trimix is much cheaper even factoring in Justinflation.

What is the longest time you have a syringe out of the freezer that kept in room temperature before you inject and it worked perfectly (or have you encountered and issue). Thank you.

I live in northern Europe and Caverject is out of stock here. There is no information when it will be available again. Might take 1-2 years as it took last time when it was not available. Trimix is not sold here. Invicorp is fridge material and I dont use it. So it will be sexless life for me for a long time.

I found info that Caverject will be available in January in 2025.
