Caverject / PGE1 / Alprostadil: Benefits & Side Effects

Share Article:

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common condition that affects millions of men worldwide. Over the years, various treatments have been developed to address this issue, including Viagra and Cialis, which we are all familiar with.

However, there is another ED medication that very few people bring up when discussing this topic: Caverject (also known as alprostadil, PGE-1 and Prostaglandin E1). This medication could easily be described as the ultimate ED treatment for one simple reason: It works in situations where traditional ED medications fail to deliver.

Mechanism of Action

Caverject is administered through an injection directly into the erectile tissue of the penis. The injection is typically done at the base of the penis using a fine needle. Once injected, alprostadil works to dilate the blood vessels in the penis, increasing blood flow to the erectile tissues. This enhanced blood flow results in a firm and lasting erection that occurs regardless of sexual arousal.

Benefits & Uses of Caverject

Besides being incredibly effective at improving erections, caverject has also been shown to be effective at treating the following conditions:

  • Patent Ductus Arteriosus: In neonates with congenital heart defects, particularly in premature infants, the ductus arteriosus, a blood vessel that connects the pulmonary artery to the aorta, sometimes fails to close after birth. Alprostadil is utilized in these cases to maintain the ductus arteriosus open, allowing oxygen-rich blood to circulate throughout the body.
  • Peripheral Arterial Disease: PAD is a condition characterized by reduced blood flow to the limbs due to narrowed arteries. Alprostadil can be employed to promote vasodilation and enhance blood flow in individuals with PAD.
  • Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: PAH is a condition that causes increased blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries, which can lead to heart failure. Alprostadil can be delivered through inhalation or infusion to dilate the pulmonary arteries, thereby reducing blood pressure and preventing cardiovascular events in patients.
  • Raynaud’s Phenomenon: Raynaud’s phenomenon is a condition where the extremities (fingers and toes) experience episodic vasospasms, causing reduced blood flow and skin discoloration. Alprostadil’s vasodilatory properties can be beneficial in managing this condition by counteracting the vasospasms and improving blood circulation in the affected areas.

Side Effects

Common adverse effects include pain or discomfort at the injection site, dizziness, and mild hypotension (low blood pressure). Priapism (prolonged and painful erection) is also possible but rare and is considered a medical emergency that requires immediate attention to prevent complications.

Many users also report decreased penile sensitivity.

Is It Worth Using?

As you can imagine, pinning the penis is not a pleasant experience, which is why this solution is only used when nothing else works. Intraurethral formulations also exist, and they are administered by inserting a small caverject pellet into the urethra and letting it dissolve inside the penis.

Typical users of this medication include male pornstars and elderly men who struggle to get an erection even with high doses of Viagra or Cialis.

How to Use It

Caverject is typically dosed at 10 mcg, injected straight into the penis, but doses of up to 30 mcg are also used.

There is no need to cycle Caverject because its effects are almost immediate, meaning that it is an “as-needed” medication.

Conclusion

In conclusion, while Caverject may not be the first solution that comes to mind when considering treatments for erectile dysfunction, its effectiveness in situations where other medications fail makes it a vital option for some individuals.

By directly injecting alprostadil, Caverject facilitates a strong and stable erection by significantly enhancing blood flow to the penile tissues. Despite its potential side effects and the discomfort associated with the injection process, its unique ability to deliver results when traditional oral medications like Viagra and Cialis prove insufficient makes it invaluable for men unable to achieve satisfactory erections through conventional means.

Everything you would ever want or need to know about SARMs, and how to properly use, maximize, and recover from them.

The SARMs Wiki is the culmination of 7 years worth of knowledge coming from independent experimentation with myself and hundreds of my clients, probably thousands of hours of research, going through every study, and the online reports of thousands of SARMs and PED users.

If you're ready to spend 150$+ on SARM cycles, why not do it right from the very start and save yourself the troubles of dealing with the nuances and complications of PED use?

The Peptide Wiki is an all-in-one guide that will give you a deep understanding of how each peptide works and how you can use them correctly and find the perfect one (or stack) to reach your goals (16 Total Most Popular Peptides Covered).

Not only will you learn how these peptides work in your body, but you will also learn how to prevent their potential side-effects, and how to reconstitute, dose, and store use them correctly (super easy to mess this up).

If you're going to spend hundreds of $ on Peptides, you might as well do them right.

I wrote this ebook/document with one goal in mind: To share the info that has helped dozens of my clients completely turn their sex lives around.

  • Improve penile function
  • Get harder fuller and longer-lasting erections
  • Increase your stamina in bed and last longer
  • Go more rounds
  • Increase semen volume
  • and more...

Everything that I have to say on how to do bloodwork as an enhanced (or to be enhanced!) lifter.

Which markers to test, how to read the results, how often to get each marker tested, and more.

I wrote this short e-book at the requests of some of you guys who were interested in taking PHs but did not know where to find reliable information about them. This is my attempt to summarize everything you NEED to know about using PHs as safely as possible.

I also explain what supplements to take in order to stay as healthy as possible during your cycles and what to do in order to recover properly after the cycle (PCT).
