Muse (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction "I am not your typical user! Did Muse at least 50 times. This I know. Every erection is always different, but ALWAYS BETTER for that day with Muse. Sure there might be pain in your penis, but look at the color of it. Bright purple rite,thats because there is more blood in their than even in your youth! Did 5 mins a day on an elliptical machine reaching 15mins after a month. Did a Muse 1000mcg. and had a 4 hour porn star performance. Could have hit it with a board, only an ice cold shower brought it down!"

Caverject (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction "I am a male in my fifties and have been using caverject for the last 15 to 20 years. Works great very little side effects for me and really enjoy it. I hope it always works because I do not want a prosthesis. A lot of men cringe at the thought of putting a needle in your penis but it hurts very little. I've been using it for so long that now when I think about giving myself an injection I immediately start getting an erection."

Muse (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction "Tried it once by itself, very slight results after three minutes that lasted only about five minutes, and caused a lot of penile pain that lasted over an hour. Tried a second time after taking Cialis first as suggested by Urologist, and it was even less effective, very slight results that lasted less than 5 minutes."

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."

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."

Muse (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction "The first time I tried Muse (1000mcg), I took the foil pouch from refrigerator and placed it on the counter for 15 minutes. After unwrapping the applicator, and while standing, I lubricated the applicator with K-Y and held my penis upright. While pulling my foreskin back to expose my urethra, I inserted the applicator into the shaft. As the applicator was traveling thru the head, it felt warm and expanded. After inserting the rest of the way and then pressing the button, I could feel a sharp warming feeling, and I could feel the sensation of the suppository traveling downward toward the base. I did not roll my penis as instructed, but I located the absorbing suppository in my urethra and gently massaged until I could feel most of the absorption at the lower half of my shaft. My erection proceeded from there very slowly and gave me a warm/tingly sensation but no urethral burning. My penis erection was rigid to penetrate, but not as hard as one of my better erections."

Muse (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction "Applying was easy into urethra. 5-10 minutes you feel a slight burning in penis. But a good type burning. You can feel feel the blood entering the penis and stays there with a little rubbing. Only side effects are slight burning and aching. Lasts for me 2 hours. I am healthy 70 year old retired physical education teacher who looks 55 So much better than the ED pills without side effects"

Muse (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction "Tried Muse for the first time tonight and well not very impressed yet. It gave me the initial erection but did not last long at all not even an hour. I am on many meds for Diabetes though so I'm sure that played a part. I will try it again for sure though. Also I am only on the 250mcg dose. I would say it's a start though much better than what has been going on."

Edex (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction "I use EDEX 40mg and take a 10 mg Levitra. I can sustain an erection easily for one hour. I hold off climax as long as possible. When I feel that I may lose my erection I hasten to a climax. Usually stays erect for a little while after climax. I am pretty satisfied with the product. No side effects from EDEX but have a heavy head from the Levitra. I am 75. "

Caverject Impulse (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction "Allows me to have an erection and have sex. I swap the needle in the package for a 31g insulin needle. Slides in without having to jab with no discomfort. The impulse device is good but I find that I would like a finer control over the dose instead of the 5MCG units. I have no recognised side effects."

Caverject (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction "Hi Guys, I started using Caverject some 8 months ago. I started with 7.5ugm dose. It gave results in about 3 to 5 minutes while massaging the injection site for 90 seconds to distribute the active component. I have had to increase the dose rate over this 8 month period from 7.5ugm to now 15ugm. It appears to have lost its potency and less rigid erections for about 45 minutes whereas before it for 90 minutes and hard. This has been noticed by my partner. Are other users finding this issue? Here in Australia you can only get Caverject up to 20ugm."

For Erectile Dysfunction "A nurse showed how to inject with a small amount and I could feel it working. When I got I used the full amount and my life changed. The only problem I have with it is with my 65 yr old wife. She can't keep up with me and says I am much bigger now. I don't know about that but it makes me feel like I was 20 yrs old again. My sex life would be better than it has ever been if my wife had something like this drug she could use. But I understand where she is coming from so we just pace ourselves. This drug is a godsend for me life with out testicles and no libido is hell. I love this drug it works for me!!!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "I use Caverject on average 3 times a week as I have a younger partner. With an erection that lasts at least an hour it can satisfy her. I replaced the needles that come with the Impulse for finer shorter ones used on insulin pens 8mm x 31G. That length is quite adequate to get the medication where it has to go yet not long enough to stick into the urethra... You do have to make sure you massage your penis to disburse the medication or you may not get a result. I have no side effects and there is no pain during the injecting apart from a slight prick. To me it is the answer to my prayers."

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."

Caverject (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction "I’m a 49-year-old with type 1 Diabetes (27 years) and Bipolar Disorder. I’m insulin-dependent, have neuropathy, and take Lithium, Topiramate, Bupropion, Prazosin, Atorvastatin, and Esomeprazole, which all affect erectile functioning. I used Viagra for 20 years until it stopped working recently. I take the Edex 20mcg injection and get fully erect about half the time. I’m going to request an increase to 40mcg. An interesting side effect for me: I cannot climax on this medication. I’ve tried. I used to have a minor problem with premature ejaculation (PE), but the other night I comfortably had sex nonstop for two hours. I never did climax. Bizarre. A great drug that cures erectile dysfunction (ED) and PE?!?!?! Wow."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I have used 20 injections of alprostadil. The erections have been better than I expected. Most of the time my erection has lasted for 2 to 3 hours and I have been perfectly satisfied and happy with the results. A few times I had some pain but I have decreased the dose and it works fine now. I don't like to inject my penis but I must say the gain is worth the pain."

Muse (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction "This is the only product of all the ED medications that gives you a full and firm erection, takes about 20 minutes and lasts over a hour, I have been using this product for over 5 years, the only thing is its very expensive and I don't have insurance and they do not offer any discounts"

Edex (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction "A miracle drug that changed my life... I tried all the pills and felt that I was at the end of the road and just accept I have ED... I tried Edex shot injections and it was a life changer as far as intimacy with my wife. It has been amazing. I highly recommend to anyone with this problem."

Caverject (alprostadil) for Erectile Dysfunction "This is a brilliant product. It is recommended to avoid injecting too close to the base and instead inject around the one-third point to prevent potential pain in the testicles, which can be unpleasant. The suggested dose is 5 mcg and the effect can be expected within about 90 minutes."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 66, in good health except for high blood pressure, and have been using Edex for almost 4 years now at the lowest dosage. It works most of the time, giving a fast erection (in 5 minutes or less) and a reasonably long-lasting one. This isn't as effective (neither as hard nor as long-lasting) as the "cocktails" found at the various "men's medical clinics" you hear advertised on the radio, but if it's covered by insurance it's far less expensive. Sometimes there is a lingering pain in the penis for several hours afterwards with the alprostadil, but the results are worth it!"

Does,not tell you is each time you inject the needle causes scarring to the penis wall.after about five years I found it was taking longer to pee. I did not link the two together.

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."

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 "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."
