Alprostadil "My wife and I (in our 50s) tried it for the first time and got great results. The second time, not as good. We will keep trying. Believe we need to take it out of the refrigerator and let it warm up a bit, might help, I don't know. My diabetes and my wife's fibromyalgia (or however you spell it). We will keep on trying."

"I've been using alprostadil for about a year now due to erectile dysfunction caused by nerve damage from surgery. It took a while to get the dosage right, but after a bit, I was able to deal it in. Although very effective, I have a slow reaction to it. Slow coming up (30-40 minutes) and slow going down (about 2 hours). Hence the 9 out of 10."

Alprostadil "I had stage 3 prostate cancer, a prostatectomy in August 2014, which resulted in severe erectile dysfunction. After a couple of attempts, I was able to inject correctly and restore my sex life. I tried every kind of oral drug without avail and basically thought my days of intimacy were gone. Edex is a miracle drug!"

Alprostadil "I have been using injections for about five years. Before that, I used PDE5s for about 14 years. They gradually started to lose effectiveness. Taking the max dose gave me headaches and horrible lasting reflux, antacids, and PPI. The doc had to give me radiowave treatment for abnormal cell formations to prevent cancer. Yes, it's true regular PDE5 use can be dangerous. Switched to Trimix then to Caverject because of availability in this part of Europe. It works pretty well but 20 mcg is the highest dose and rigidity isn't great, with frequent buckling. If I add from another vial 5 mcg, it's good but sometimes I can't cum. A close call but it's okay for now. Not ready for an implant but love my intimacy."

Alprostadil "While using Muse, I experienced a little discomfort. The applicator seems that it is still full of medicine. I followed all of the directions that came with the product. I noticed that my penis started to harden up a little, then quit. I wonder what I am doing wrong."

Alprostadil "Being overweight caused the absence of lovemaking for the past few years due to ED issues. I started using Caverject 20 ml in the past couple of months (approx. 16 times), and it's difficult to see what I'm doing during injection time, and using a mirror as a guide is something I'm not good at and never have been. Why the medication isn't working could be that the injections are missing their target. Either I'm going too deep or not deep enough, I feel. How does one know when you are in the sweet spot that it's supposed to land in?"

Alprostadil "Edex began to work this first time in about 5 minutes. I took 10 mg, and it produced the best erection I could manage with a pump, with sildenafil, or any other way. Adding 10 mg more within 20 minutes improved the rigidity a bit, but the overall erection was probably at 80% of what it was in my youth. I feel no burning, but I do feel what feels like pressure in my prostate. I just got a TURP and still feel the effects of that surgery a bit since it has been 6 weeks ago. This may just be what happens with my initial dose. If 20 mg doesn't work, I'll try doubling that. 20 mg would probably suffice for insertion during sex, but I doubt if it would feel good for me or her."

"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 the base of the penis works flawlessly. I still praise this med. Works great!"

"I have fought gradual neurogenic erectile dysfunction as a result of being diagnosed with primary progressive multiple sclerosis 20 years ago. Being incredibly stubborn has helped me find creative solutions to keep the equipment running at top speed until recently. Alprostadil is incredibly effective for me at 15 mcg, and couldn't be simpler to inject. Creating a 110% erection for 2 1/2 to 3 hours makes for a happy household and a great cardio workout. This 54-year-old highly recommends that you get over your fear of needles and get busy living!"

Alprostadil "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 tiny. Remember 10 and 2, avoid any visible veins, and don't over-insert it. It was 1000 times easier and less painful than I thought it would be. Do hold pressure on the injection site for 5 minutes as directed to avoid bruising. I used 20 mcg, and in 10 minutes 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 workout' 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."

"My partner used the drug, after which I experienced side effects of extreme burning sensation, irritation, redness. It felt like cuts, but it was due to the side effects of other medication when injected into the male. The medication mixes with sperm he ejaculated into the woman. It burns and irritates the woman inside and outside, it’s extremely painful and causes damage to the vaginal area. Has the company started doing research into something that would neutralize that particular side effect that the partners may encounter? Because it's extremely painful to the vaginal area."

Alprostadil "Tried Muse and was disappointed. Very easy to apply. It caused some thickening in my penis but not hard at all. Left me with a feeling of discomfort in the shaft of my penis for about 4 hours. Have used a pump in the past with good results, guess that I will stick with this. Have tried Viagra and Cialis in the past with poor results. Great thing with the pump, a one-time outlay and it works every time."

Alprostadil "I have been using this since 1993 due to the inability to get an erection after a car accident broke my hip and dislocated my leg, along with a bad concussion. It worked quite well during the first 10 years or so. Now, due to age, I am guessing, it is a 'hit or miss' with the injections. As of Jan 1st, 2018, I am no longer able to find it in my state-the only pharmacy that mixed it has discontinued doing so due to the high cost (I also had it shipped via UPS since the pharmacy is a couple of hours away). What confuses me here is that the RX that works best for me had to always be kept cold until use, and I have received it sometimes through the years where it says not to keep cold (and that RX never worked). So, there are evidently different formulas? And as for the scar tissue statements-yes, I too have the scar tissue with the 'hard' spots, but they have not caused any pain; curvature, etc.-I can feel them when I get ready to inject and just inject beside them."

"Works wonders for me! I purchase from outside the USA, otherwise, you would go broke! My insurance does not cover it. The US drug companies should be ashamed of themselves! It has never failed me. Viagra and Cialis did not work at all. I get approx 24 shots from 1 vial. I pay $155 US dollars for 2 vials. I think it costs like $85 dollars for 1 shot if you purchase in the USA. What a joke!"

"Cialis 5 mg daily was okay for ED but not consistently brilliant results. (I'd say 1 in 5 times no success) I got 20 mcg Alprostadil as Caverject from an online doctor/pharmacy setup. What can I say? The first experiment saw a good solid erection appear within 5 minutes with no sexual stimulation at all. After 15 minutes, still a great erection that survived walking around and even gentle exercise. I'm sure it could have gone on, but the concept was proved 100%, so I relaxed one out a happy man. The injection is painless and the results are amazing. I don't think I'm exaggerating to say this is gonna change my life. Even when I was 20, I didn't have a 15-minute erection I could rely on."

"First couple of times took 20 mg and worked great. It lasted about five hours without any side effects. Dropped down to 10 mg, and the last two experiences were terrible, had an erection for seven hours without going down, after sex, it was extremely painful and wouldn't go down."

Alprostadil "I've used Edex three times now and have had mixed results. I think my dose is not enough, I currently take 20 mcg. I probably need to take more. The injections work, but I need to have my dose adjusted by the doctor. There is penile pain after the shot for a couple of hours, but not enough to get me to stop using it."

Alprostadil "It’s been 5 years since I started using it 20 mg now and then. At the beginning, I needed less than 1/4 to get a 4-hour erection, now, a whole injection barely works. Wondering if anxiety and depression affect its performance or if its performance has been causing me anxiety and depression. Anyway, too much life hassle to maintain a sexual life, I’m losing interest in sex because it has become too complicated."

Alprostadil "Started with the dual chamber 20 mcg Caverject injections. Injected two amounts, i.e., 40 mcg in total. Mixed results. Partial erection. Due to lack of manufacturing supply, swapped to the single 40 mcg single injection type. Used the same dose as before, but no erection at all, just pain. Tried multiple times, but no change. Pain is sometimes less, but can't deduce why. Different injection methods, ensuring temperature of liquid is room temp, give no change in results. I am medically qualified."

Alprostadil "Tried Muse 500 mg, the cost is insane and had absolutely no effect. Tried 4 different occasions, all I got was a sore penis and an empty wallet. 50 mg Viagra worked a little better, for a fraction of the cost."

Alprostadil "A little discomfort at first. Allowed more blood flow. Was hard for maybe 2 minutes, then was like a valve turned on, and it just drained away. 500 mcg version. Was a little more discomfort during play, really on the fence with this, will try a few more times, diabetic with 2 back surgeries. Last surgery took a lot of it away."

Alprostadil "I tried the 20 mg Edex with awesome results. I felt like a teenager again with a raging hard-on. There was a little pain associated with the injection site, but it was manageable. Love the stuff, but don't love the cost."

"I have been using the Caverject injections for 8 months, and it started out great after my prostate cancer surgery. So the past few months, when I inject myself, my penis curves, and it's difficult to have sex. Does anybody know if I'm doing something wrong, or is it making my penis curve?"

Alprostadil "Started out with 250, it worked great, but the second time, not as well. Moved up to 500 mg, still not as good as the first time with the 250 mg. For the 1000, but my mate doesn't like knowing I use anything. She feels I'm not interested, but Muse's the only thing working for me. Years ago, Yohimbe worked great for me, but I think I overdid it."

Alprostadil "The last four Edex injections I used did not work; they just made me swollen! With no stiffness at all! You would think that something so expensive would work! It works on one's ego, and self-confidence is really hard to deal with, not to mention embarrassing! So, why are they not working?"
