Edex (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction: Sometimes causes a small bruise (pencil point size) to as large as 1 inch by 4 inches (twice). Must add, very infrequently bruised, as I've learned to be careful at the injection site. Been using 40mg Edex for about 6 years. Like it better than Caverject (5 years) for ease of injection and preparation. Twice had gotten bent needles, but called Edex, and the medication was replaced free through my provider. Sometimes use a "ring" with the medication. Gave a 9 instead of 10 because of bruising.

Edex (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction: The only thing keeping me from giving it a 10 is the price. At $25.00/injection it's a little much. I get the 20mcg and use 1/2 pre-shot.The pain is a lot less if you use insealant needles. It works for me every time.

Edex (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction: Tested today with the urologist. I'm a 38 year old diabetic in great shape actually but have erectile dysfunction and nothing seems to work. They prescribed a 20mcg of Edex. We tried it at 10mcg. Seems to work really well.

Edex (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction: The drug has been consistently effective for me at 20mcg. I find the provided injector is much more difficult to use for a low-pain injection than the one provided with 'Caverject'.

Edex (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction: Edex works well. I started with 20mg then 40mg. I found the 20mg is good. I did get it in the vein twice and boy what a Black and Blue Mark.

Caverject Impulse (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction: Works everytime. The only drawback is that if you don't hit the proper insertion point it's a waste of medication. It's not always available at many local pharmacies. Otherwise I love it and my partner loves it too.

Muse (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction: If you are taking certain heart medications you are warned never ever to use Viagra or it's kin as it could possibly kill you by dropping your blood pressure off the scale. MUSE does not have this risk. I gave it an 8 because not everyone will need MUSE and for them Viagra is easier. For me though it would be a 10+.
