Caverject 20mcg Injection (Alprostadil) is a medication administered as an injection directly into the penis to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). It works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the penis, allowing increased blood flow and facilitating an erection.
How it Works:
- Muscle Relaxation: Alprostadil, the active ingredient in Caverject, relaxes the smooth muscles in the penis.
- Increased Blood Flow: This relaxation allows for increased blood flow into the penis, leading to an erection.
Important Considerations:
- Administration: Caverject is self-administered as an injection into the side of the penis. Proper training is essential to ensure correct usage.
- Side Effects: Common side effects include pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site. Less common side effects may include prolonged erection (priapism) and penile scarring.
- Drug Interactions: Inform your doctor about all medications you’re taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, as they may interact with Caverject.
- Medical Conditions: If you have certain medical conditions, such as sickle cell anemia or Peyronie’s disease, consult your doctor before using Caverject.
