Edex (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction "Excellent results in the first try; removing years of disappointments. As a diabetic, the use of needles is not new but I was unsure of this location and possible errors. It was easy, accurate and without side effects."

For Erectile Dysfunction "For 23 years I have used Prostglandin E1, Aprostadil or Prostin. It changed my whole sex life from quick before it goes down to long and slow. You have to be careful you learn the proper way to take your injection, that is important, and DON'T TAKE TOO MUCH. I have had 6 hour erections that are painful. Take your shots out with you, step into a bathroom and your good to go 10 minutes later. My wife says it the greatest invention ever. No side effects like Viagra no flushing. My face goes purple on Viagra. Start out with small injections and work up to the right dose. "

Edex (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction "Tried it last night with great trepidation. I am generally a nervous guy about everything and had high apprehension about injecting myself, getting a 10 hour boner, etc. Happy to say that it was super easy to use. I got a 10Mcg kit and was afraid of a priapus so I injected 5mcg (which you can do). I carefully put pressure on the area I injected for a few minutes and got no bruising. I only got very slight burning that lasted 30 seconds and went away with the aforementioned gentle pressure. Got a wonderful erection that lasted about 2 hours. I was glad I didn't inject the whole ten mcgs! Didn't need to. I am 62 and I think most of my problem is psychological. Sometimes Viagra just won't work for."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I had difficulties achieving a full rigid erection since my teens and never found satisfactory treatments until I was 23 when I emotionally opened up to my doctor with tears. I was sent for a Doppler scan of my penis to figure out what's going on. It turned out my left artery on the left side is narrow and I had a birth defect. My doctor showed me how to inject myself and found my dose of 14 mcg. I have not changed the dosage for 14 years. Viagra, Cialis etc. do not help me due to the birth defect. I use the prostaglandin E1 carefully and I think it's a great. I gave it 10 rating. It works."

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."

For Erectile Dysfunction "After nerve sparing Prostatectomy I was prescribed alprostadil. Viagra never worked. Although I get a decent erection I've lost a bit of girth which sometimes happens after Prostatectomy. I've since discovered doing pelvic floor exercises really helps with erections and woke up with my first morning glory since the operation and without drug."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Alprostadil injections (as part of TriMix) has really helped me to get firm erections that last for up to a hour. No side effects, just discomfort during injection and a full or tight feeling."

Caverject (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction "Only been using for about 4 months... I'm injecting 20mcg. Does anyone else experience burning pain after about 10 mins up until the penis loses the erection. I've had erection for more than 4hrs. But the burning sensation spoils it for me and can't ejaculated either. There's no pain on injection so anybody new don't be worried about injecting."

Caverject (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction "I have been using Caverject 20mg for up on 20 years now and find it to be an excellent medicine. Fortunately, I don't have any of the side effects as highlighted on previous posts. I have used it on average once per week. My only issue with Caverject is that it's dogged with supply issues and it has not been available in my pharmacy since Oct 2021. Perhaps Pfizer can give an update on when supply resumes."

Edex (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction "At 57, after trying all of the pills and having hard erections fade quickly, and unrelated to our excitement, I PLEADED with my Doctor to try Edex. A lot is made of the injection itself. NO PROBLEM! The needle is a tiny. Remember 10 and 2, avoid any visible veins, and don't over insert it. IT WAS 1000 TIMES EASIER AND LESS PAINLESS than I thought it would be. DO hold pressure on injection site for 5min as directed to avoid bruising. I used 20mcg and in 10 min had an 85% teenage erection. It was an amazing, hulk-like, towel-rack erection and stayed that way for 1 hour plus. My girlfriend "got there" eight times and was completely and fully satisfied. As for soreness... I can say my manhood, balls, stomach, and back muscles all feel like they had a "full work-out" last night... this is a wonderful tender feeling! Now looking for coupons. I want to go to work for EDEX and be their Spokesperson or Sales Manager -- This is how much I love this product."

Edex (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction "I have been using Edex for 20 months after a Da Vinci prostatectomy. Works perfectly. Started with a dose of about 7, 2 months after the operation but found it to be not enough and so my Doc gave me the 20 mg syringes. Tried 15 and that worked fine for a while before becoming painful particularly during penetration. Dose reduction helped matters and today 20 months later 5 gives the same results, presumably because nerve endings have healed and linked since the operation. A great drug, that for me only wears off after 4 hours which is a bit problematic when my wife wants some action in the morning. Only 2 misfires both times when injecting standing up. Lying down I find easier and more comfortable. If the drug usage is painful it is probably because you are overdosing - anyway that is my experience."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Now in my mid 60s. Always had trouble with ED. Pills helped when I was younger, then very hit and miss. Now use a Caverject. Comes in 20mcg. I mix it and use about half, or 10mcg. Sometimes I use the rest the next day. Do not store in too cool a place. The medicine is freeze dried powder that is neutralized permanently by cold. I like the mix yourself version because I travel and don't need to refrigerate. Inject in side of penis, it is possible to miss the spot if you are careless."

Muse (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction "Me and wife (in our 50's) tried it for the first time and great results. Second time not as good. We will keep trying. Believe we need to take it out of refrigerator and let it warm up a bit might help, I don't know. My diabetes and wife fibromyalgia (or how ever you spell it). We will keep on trying"

Edex (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction "I have used Edex for over 3 years. Very positive in that it almost never fails to give me a nice hard, durable erection within a few minutes with stimulation, maybe 2 "erection fails" in several hundred uses. The injections are painless and very easy to get used to. cost per dose is very small. Not so positive is that for about 2 years I have had a difficult time reaching orgasm and when I do it often is only after very hard, intense, prolonged stimulation, almost never through intercourse alone. Mr Urologist insists that the orgasm issue is all in my head, that the medication is giving me the erection as it is supposed to, but that there must be some other issues involved."

Edex (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction "After fighting rectal cancer for 2 years I lost the ability to get hard. My doctor prescribed 100mg Viagra which worked for a while and then it got harder to produce an erection. The doctor asked me if I thought I could stick a small needle into my penis. I told him I could and would if it would help me get an erection. I have been using Edex for over 2 years with mostly a good reaction to the drug. The only reason I gave it a rating of 9 instead of a 10 was every once in a while when sticking the needle in I would miss the sweet spot on my penis and my erection wouldn't happen or only last a short amount of time. I'm finding after 2 years of using Edex the needle has become harder to inject and more pain full. My wife loves the hardness."

Caverject Impulse (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction "I had my prostate removed 13 months ago, and was advised by my Urologist and prostate nurse to commence a rehab program of 5mg Cialis daily and include a pump routine ( I do 6 x 5 minutes) one to two daily) which has almost returned my length and girth to square one. As I hadn't been achieving a erection adequate for penetration, my Urologist instructed my on injecting Caverject Impulse 10 mcg last Friday with great results. On Monday at home I self injected 10 mcg with no pain and stayed erect for 1 1/2 hours. Although I didn't; hit any small veins, it was a bit awkward finding the best spot, so this morning I decided to do a gentle pump, increasing the penis size and injected very easily. Increasing my dose to 15 mcg was a bit tight."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Now been using for 2 months, 24 injections into treatment. I've found that if not careful with the injection site ,it can cause pain for up to an hour and a less than satisfactory result. HOWEVER, pay close attention and inject as instructed. If not deep enough it can be painful and cause bruising. I found that 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock and close to base of penis works flawlessly. I still praise this med. Works great!"

Caverject Impulse (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction "Was in bad auto accident that broke my hip and had an adverse effect on the nerves in my groin area, this got worse with age causing ED...no help from pills, and then my Urologist prescribed Caverject.....Wow that was the answer ! I have used it at about nine times now - only had one failure to launch (it was probably an injection mistake made by me), but 8 Gold medal performances!...The dose I use is 15mcg and I last 1.5 up to 2 hours!!! My Lady friend is amazed and fully satisfied with the performance - so am I. At our age we have to take a short break before finishing up. The good part is that I stay erect even after climax..."

Edex Refill (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction "I've had ED for many years due to stressful marriage and hypertension, Cialis and other oral meds didn't do much for me and didn't last very long. Divorced wife and consulted urologist, he suggested Alprostadil 20 micrograms. 20 was too strong as erection lasted over 4 hours, he cut back dosage to 10 micrograms and I get erection which lasts about 2 hours, perfect for terrific sex with my girlfriend. I'm 75 and girl friend is 72, neither of us have ever had such a perfect intimate relationship. She massages my penis after the injection which increases our bonding. I was afraid to inject my penis at first but after a couple of times the anxiety went away. Wish it wasn't so expensive, would like to use more often."

Muse (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction "After nerve sparing prostate surgery I was prescribed several of he big named drugs but no satisfaction and to many side effects for me, my doctor then prescribed Muse (1000mg) a good erection was obtainable nothing like before the surgery but at least it works, as others have suggest standing up sure makes it work faster and last longer, suggest it be used well before expiry date and its extremely important that the application instructions be followed exactly."
