It is injected with a fine needle syringe into the side of the penis where the erection forms (the Corpus Cavernosum). Although this sounds unpleasant, most men find these penile injections virtually painless, as the shaft of the penis is relatively insensitive. Only a single 20mcg Caverject dose is necessary, as the penile injection drug is rapidly distributed throughout the penis.
An penis erection will usually develop 5-20 minutes after injection and is intended to keep a hard penis erection suitable for sexual intercourse for around one hour. Do not take with other impotence drug treatment on devices.

Investigating Penile Injection Use
When investigating penile injections for erection problems, it is important to include your partner in your decision making.
- Caverject penile injection drug medications are less likely to be effective for men in whom blood flow into or out of the penis is severely impaired.
- They may cause some problems for men with severe mental illness or for those who would have difficulty giving the injection. If you have vision problems, your partner can learn to give you the injections. Make sure your partner is comfortable with helping you, and with using injections.
- Caverject penile injection medicine can be used by men who are taking medication to prevent blood clots (anticoagulants, such as warfarin [for example, Coumadin]).
- Caverject medication that is injected into the penis can be given no more than every other day. Excessive use may cause scarring.
- Caverject penis injection therapy should not be used more than three times per week
- Couples trying to have children may prefer male penile injections over a vacuum device, because the vacuum device blocks ejaculation.
- It is not for men who have penis implants
- It is not for those who have been advised not to have sex
- Call your doctor if you notice any redness, lumps, swelling, tenderness or curving of the erect penis.
- Up to 60% of men stop using the penile injection drug medications. Reasons include:
- Partner relationship issues (being able to have erections doesn’t solve relationship problems).
- The mechanical nature of the process, which interferes with spontaneity.
- Fear and discomfort about giving an injection into the penis.
- Concern about effects of long-term use.
- Development of tolerance to the medication (which rarely happens).
- Development of scar tissue.
