What is Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the repeated inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance1. It occurs in 15 to 30 million men in the United States. Incidence of ED increases with age but can be successfully treated.

Intracavernosal Injection

An intracavernous injection, according to the American Urologic Association, is the most effective non-surgical treatment for ED. Injections into the penis, unlike oral medications, trigger an automatic erection. Injection can be done by the individual 5 minutes prior to sexual activity and should last for no more than 1 hour. Injection is considered second line to be used if oral therapy fails. Compounds that can be injected include alprostadil, papaverine, and phentolamine. Alprostadil and phentolamine are the most common agents used as monotherapy. However, combination therapies are used to increase efficacy and decrease side effects. Combination therapy includes Tri-Mix and Bi-Mix. Both products are not commercially available and must be compounded by specialty pharmacies and require a prescription from your doctor.
