Caverject Impulse

Generic Name: Alprostadil Injection (al-PROS-ta-dil)
Brand Name: Examples include Caverject and Caverject Impulse

Caverject Impulse is used for:

Treating erectile problems in men. It may also be used to help diagnose erectile dysfunction.

Caverject Impulse is a prostaglandin (PGE-1). It works by relaxing certain muscles in the penis and widening blood vessels, which increases blood flow to the penis and helps to cause an erection. When the effect of the alprostadil wears off, blood flow returns to normal and the erection disappears.

Do NOT use Caverject Impulse if:

you are allergic to any ingredient in Caverject Impulse
you have urinary problems (eg, inflammation or narrowing of the urinary tract), blood or bone marrow problems (eg, sickle cell anemia, thrombocytopenia, polycythemia, multiple myeloma, leukemia, thick or "sticky" blood), blood clotting problems, if you are at risk for a prolonged, painful erection, or a history of blood clots
you have inflammation or infection of the penis, Peyronie disease (scar tissue on your penis), fibrosis of the penis, your penis is not straight when erect, your penis is structurally abnormal in any way, or you have a penile implant
you have any other physical reason that you should not have sexual intercourse
the patient is a woman or a child
