20mcg caverject does not work :(

Postby mlc2010 » Sun Sep 14, 2014 3:12 pm

Any ideas why? cialis gives me night time erections but had lifelong ed, 29 year old.. when crunch time comes, so nervous.. I thought caverject would over ride it, just gets a little plump

whats next step, 40mcg? being from uk trimix is not available.. it would suck to need 40mcg of caverject, as nhs only allows you 6 a month and its £23 a month otherwise

I was told you can use MUSE to make caverject, but its annoying. Any ideas why 20mcg does not work?

If you read the PGE1 (Caverject) trials ( find on Google) you will see that in a trial of over 100 men with severe ED the average dose was 21.7 mcg. Thus more than half the men needed more than 20 mcg. I live in UK and need about 25 mcg for a good duration. I have type 2 diabetes and am prescribed 4 x 40 mcg free each month. Caverject supply of 40 mcg is often unreliable but Viridal is exactly the same medication and is usually easier for my pharmacy to obtain. I refrigerate the surplus between 25 and 40 mcg to get more than 4 injections each month.
80 year old Type2 diabetic, long term ED, pills then injections PGE1. After 4 years they became less effective. Implanted 20/3/2018 by NHS. AMS 700 CX 15+4 cm with MS pump. Never had any significant pain. Still working perfectly and used regularly.

I have an urology appointment where they will show me to inject tomorrow, however I have been doing it myself, no big deal. I will tell them 20mcg doesnt work, what will they try next, straight to 40?

I thought it was 6 free per month?

The NHS recommendation is 4 per month free also applies to pills. Some doctors may prescribe more. I doubt that the clinic will go straight to 40 mcg - more likely 25 mcg. I understand that priapism is rare with Alprostadil/PGE1 but they will still be concerned. Let us know how you get on.

I'm going to buy some caverject online from drs, good reviews and much cheaper

it comes in liquid, do I need to mix this with bacteriostatic water? if so, benzyl alcohol or sodium chloride?

Do some people just like to see their dumb ass ramblings on the internet ? I fail to see if anything is really being accomplished on this thread .
Radical prostatectomy Mar . 2010 age 63 , everything good except for ED . Have tried the big three pills , VED , and Muse , results unsatisfactory . My trimix formula is : 25MG Papa ,.8 MG Phento , 8 MCG /M PGE 1

I found out that if I mix pge1 with phentolamine I get better erection but not 100 percent

what does papaverine bring to table?

You can buy Viridal 40mcg in the UK for about £17.50 from Boots or Pharmacy2U (or others) it is the same as Caverject, sold as Edex in the States.
