Caverject 20mcg Injection Uses

• Treats erectile dysfunction (difficulty getting or keeping an erection) in adult men
• Used when tablet treatments have not worked or are not suitable
• Sometimes used as part of tests to diagnose the cause of erectile dysfunction
• Produces an erection by directly increasing blood flow to the penis
• Prescribed and started under the guidance of a doctor

How Caverject Is Given

Caverject is injected directly into the side of the penis (an intracavernosal injection). The very first doses are given in a clinic so a doctor can find the right dose and teach the correct technique. Once trained, the patient can self-inject at home following the exact method shown. Use only the dose your doctor sets, no more than the advised frequency (generally not more than once in 24 hours and no more than three times a week), and follow the instructions for preparing and injecting carefully. Never adjust the dose on your own.
