Caverject

What is Caverject?
This is a most effect treatment but because it involves a near painless injection into the side of the penis it is generally regarded as the treatment of last choice.

Caverject is a penile injection for men for whom other medications are ineffective or contra-indicted. It is injected with a fine needle into the side of the penis where the erection forms (the Corpus Cavernosum). Although this sounds unpleasant, most men find injections virtually painless, as the shaft of the penis is relatively insensitive. Only a single injection is necessary, as the drug is rapidly distributed throughout the penis. An erection will usually develop 5-20 minutes after injection and is intended to last for around one hour. Caverject causes an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse in approximately 80% of men, regardless of their age or the cause of their erectile dysfunction. Ordering Caverject with free, on-treatment consultation couldn't be easier.

Side Effects
Bruising can occur but this can be largely prevented by good injection technique. Dr. Rynne can advise you on the best method.
