Caverject 10mcg Injection, 1 Pack
Caverject 10mcg Injection is a prescription medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). ED is the inability to get or keep an erection. Caverject 10mcg Injection increases blood flow to the penis, resulting in an erection. This medication works by relaxing the penile muscles and increasing blood flow to the penis. Caverject 10mcg Injection is used only when needed, usually 30 minutes to 1 hour before sexual activity. You will not get an erection just by using Caverject 10mcg Injection. Do not use more than one injection in 24 hours.
Caverject 10mcg Injection is used for “erectile dysfunction” including weak erections or impotence. Your doctor may also use it to help find the exact cause of your erectile dysfunction along with other tests.
Sexual fulfillment is an important part of life. It feels great, it releases stress, and it strengthens bonds between partners. But for those suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED), the simple act of intercourse can be fraught with anxiety and embarrassment. ED not only steals one’s sexual confidence but also disrupts relationships and quality of life.
While there are many causes of ED, the good news is that it is treatable at any age. Caverject 10mcg Injection is a safe and effective treatment for ED that has been used by men for over 25 years. Caverject works by increasing blood flow to the penis, resulting in a stronger, longer-lasting erection.
Caverject is not licensed for use in children and must not be given to children.
Viridal Duo and Caverject Injection
Both product’s active ingredient is alprostadil. Viridal duo and Caverject are used in the same manner for erectile dysfunction.
Caverject 10mcg Injection and Muse
Both product’s active ingredient is alprostadil. The method of administration of the products differ.
What is Erectile Dysfunction?
Erection problems (impotence) are very common, particularly in men over 40. It’s usually nothing to worry about, but you should see a GP if it keeps happening. It could be the sign of a more serious problem.
Most men occasionally fail to get or keep an erection.
This is usually caused by stress, tiredness, anxiety or drinking too much alcohol, and it’s nothing to worry about.
If it happens more often, it may be caused by physical health or emotional problems.
See a GP or go to a sexual health clinic if:
- erection problems keep happening
It could be a sign of an underlying health condition such as diabetes.
How sexual health clinics can help with erection problems
Sexual health clinics treat problems with sexual health. They can provide the same treatment you would get at your GP surgery.
Many sexual health clinics offer a walk-in service, where you do not need an appointment.
They’ll often get test results quicker than GP practices.
WHAT HAPPENS AT YOUR APPOINTMENT
The doctor or nurse will ask about your lifestyle and relationships, and any problems you might be having.
They’ll carry out basic health checks, such as taking your blood pressure.
They’ll also examine your genitals to rule out any obvious physical cause.
If you have symptoms like needing to pee more often, you may also need to have an examination of your prostate.
Treatments for erectile dysfunction are usually effective and the problem often goes away.
There are also specific treatments for some of the causes of erectile dysfunction.
Medicine such as sildenafil (sold as Viagra) is also often used by doctors to treat erectile dysfunction. It’s also available from pharmacies.
Because of changes in regulations, you no longer need a prescription to get sildenafil.
But you’ll have to have a consultation with the pharmacist to make sure it’s safe for you to take it.
There are other similar medicines called tadalafil (Cialis), vardenafil (Levitra) and avanafil (Spedra) that work in a similar way.
You’ll still need a prescription to get these medicines.
Healthy lifestyle changes can sometimes help erectile dysfunction.
DO
lose weight if you’re overweight
stop smoking
eat a healthy diet
exercise daily
try to reduce stress and anxiety
DON’T
do not cycle for a while (if you cycle for more than 3 hours a week)
do not drink more than 14 units of alcohol a week
EMOTIONAL (PSYCHOLOGICAL) PROBLEMS
It’s more likely to be an emotional problem if you only have erection problems some of the time. For example, you get an erection when waking up in the morning, but not during sexual activity.
Anxiety and depression can be treated with counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
A GP might recommend sex therapy, either on its own or in combination with other psychotherapy.
There’s usually a long wait for these services on the NHS.
You can also pay to see someone privately.

How To Use
How to use Caverject 10
Always take this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor, pharmacist or nurse
has told you. Check with your doctor, pharmacist or nurse if you are not sure.
A doctor or nurse will show you how to do the injection for at least the first time. Do not try to do it
yourself until you have learnt the correct way or if you can’t remember what to do, see your trainer
again. These instructions are a reminder only. Keep the antiseptic swab away from the eyes.
How much Caverject should you inject?
Page 3 of 7
Different people need different amounts of Caverject to treat erectile dysfunction. Your doctor will
advise on the right dose for you and monitor you regularly to check how it is working. The starting
dose is 1.25 – 2.5 micrograms.
Most men find that a dose of 5 – 20 micrograms is right for them, however, some men may require a
higher dose. To minimise the risk of prolonged painful erection, your doctor will select the lowest
effective dose. You should never use more than 60 micrograms. If Caverject is being used to find
the reason for your erectile dysfunction, the dose will be 5 – 20 micrograms.
If the dose that has been prescribed for you does not work well enough, tell your doctor. Do not
change your dose unless your doctor tells you to. If you forget how much to use, read the label on the
pack or speak to your doctor.
You and your partner
You may like your partner to be involved in preparing and/or giving the injection. If so, you should
speak to your doctor about training for your partner. Wash your hands. Dry them on a clean towel.
If your partner wishes to be involved in preparing or giving the injection, they should wash their
hands too.
Product Details
What you need to know before you use Caverject 10
Do not use Caverject:
• If you are allergic to alprostadil or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in
section 6).
• If you have sickle cell anaemia (a blood disease), leukaemia (cancer of the blood), multiple
myeloma (bone cancer) or any other problem which increases the risk of getting “priapism”.
This is a painful condition when your penis continues to remain erect.
• If you have an implant in your penis.
• If you have a condition (such as severe heart disease) in which sexual activity should be
avoided.
• If you have a penis which is scarred or not straight.
• If you have a tight foreskin.
Caverject must not be given to children (see section 2 Caverject contains benzyl alcohol and sodium).
Do not use any Caverject until your doctor says that it is right for you.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before using Caverject if you:
• have a lung, chest or heart disorder (in these cases you also should engage in sexual activity
with caution)
Page 2 of 7
• have a history of mental illness or addiction
• have had a mini-stroke (transient ischaemic attack)
• have one or more cardiovascular risk factors (these might include high blood pressure,
tobacco use, raised blood glucose, raised blood cholesterol, overweight and obesity)
• have one or more risk factors for stroke (these might include high blood pressure, raised
blood cholesterol, coronary artery disease, heart arrhythmia, diabetes)
Sexually transmitted diseases
Caverject will not protect you or your partner from sexually transmitted diseases like AIDS, herpes
and gonorrhoea. Injection of Caverject can start a small amount of bleeding where the needle enters.
This could increase the risk of transmission of such diseases. Condoms can protect against sexually
transmitted diseases. If you need advice about contraception or ‘safe sex’ speak to your doctor or
contact your local Family Planning Clinic.
Other medicines and Caverject
Tell your doctor, pharmacist or nurse if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other
medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription, and any of the following medicines
before you start using Caverject:
• medicines used for treating high blood pressure (antihypertensives)
• medicines used for respiratory and heart disease (sympathomimetics)
• medicines that widen blood vessels (vasodilative agents)
• other medicines for erectile dysfunction such as sildenafil or papaverine
• medicines to thin your blood such as warfarin or heparin, as you might bleed more when you
do the injection.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
Caverject can be used by couples wishing to conceive and with a partner who is pregnant or breastfeeding. It will not protect your partner from pregnancy, so you should use a reliable contraceptive if
appropriate.
Driving and using machines
Caverject should not affect your ability to drive or use machines.
Caverject contains benzyl alcohol and sodium
This medicine contains benzyl alcohol 8.4 mg/ml. Benzyl alcohol may cause allergic reactions.
Using large amounts of Caverject may cause a build-up of benzyl alcohol in your body resulting in an
increased amount of acid in your blood (called metabolic acidosis). Patients with liver or kidney
disease need to be especially cautious and discuss with their doctor.
Benzyl alcohol has been linked with the risk of severe side effects including breathing problems
(called “gasping syndrome”) in young children. Caverject is not for use in children.
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per dose, that is to say essentially ‘sodium free.
How to store Caverject
• Keep the syringe and needles out of the sight and reach of children.
• Store below 25°C.
• When you have mixed the Caverject Powder with the solution, use it straight away. Do not
keep it to use later on.
• For single use only. Any unused Caverject should be discarded.
• Do not use Caverject if the injection is cloudy or contains particles.
• Do not use this medicine after the expiry date on the pack after EXP. The expiry date refers to
the last day of that month.
• For Caverject 40 micrograms vials: these vials should only be used within 3 months from when
they were given to you. Your doctor or pharmacist will make a note of this date on the packs.
You should not use the vials after this date has passed. Please note that this date may be earlier
than the “expiry” date printed on the packs.
Do not throw away any medicines via wastewater or household waste. Ask your pharmacist how to throw away medicines you no longer use. These measures will help protect the environment.
Side Effects
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
Tell your doctor immediately if your erection goes on for longer than 4 hours. If you cannot contact
your doctor, go to a hospital casualty department immediately as treatment should be started within 6
hours.
