What Caverject 10mcg Dual Chamber is and what it is used for
Caverject 10mcg Dual Chamber contains alprostadil which is similar to the natural substance in your body called prostaglandin E1. It widens blood vessels, increasing blood flow to your penis making it easier for you to have an erection. Caverject Dual Chamber 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.
If you are one of the many men suffering from erectile dysfunction, weak erections, or impotence, then you need Caverject Dual Chamber. This powerful medication is exactly what you need to get your sex life back on track. Caverject Dual Chamber works by increasing blood flow to the penis, which results in harder, longer-lasting erections. Not only that, but it also helps you maintain an erection for longer periods of time so that you can truly enjoy intimacy with your partner. With Caverject Dual Chamber, you no longer have to worry about not being able to perform when it matters most. So don’t wait any longer, give Caverject Dual Chamber a try today and see for yourself.
Both product’s active ingredient is alprostadil. The method of administration of the products differ.
Caverject 10mcg Dual Chamber is also known as Caverject Impulse
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.
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.
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.

Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with

dysfunction. Your doctor will advise on the right dose for you and monitor you regularly

micrograms cannot be delivered with Caverject Dual Chamber. In this case, Caverject
Page 4 of 10
Powder for Injection will be used. Most men find that a dose of 5-20 micrograms works
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 40 micrograms.
If Caverject Dual Chamber 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.

Warnings and precautions
If you experience an erection that lasts for longer than 4 hours, seek medical advice
immediately as treatment should be started within 6 hours. If you cannot contact your
doctor go to the hospital emergency department.
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Caverject Dual Chamber:
• if you have a lung, chest or heart disorder (in these cases you also should engage
in sexual activity with caution)
• if you have a history of mental illness or addiction
• if you have had a mini-stroke (transient ischaemic attack)

blood pressure, tobacco use, raised blood glucose, raised blood cholesterol,
overweight and obesity)
• if you 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 Dual Chamber will not protect you or your partner from sexually transmitted
diseases like AIDS, herpes or gonorrhoea. The injection of Caverject Dual Chamber 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 Dual Chamber
Tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines before you start using
Caverject Dual Chamber:
• Antihypertensives (used for treating high blood pressure)
• Sympathomimetics (used for respiratory and heart disease)
• Vasodilative agents (drugs that widen blood vessels)
• Anticoagulants (blood-thinning agents)
• Other treatments for erectile dysfunction (e.g. sildenafil or papaverine)
Page 3 of 10
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any
other medicines.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
Caverject Dual Chamber can be used by couples wishing to conceive and with a partner
who is pregnant or breast-feeding. It will not protect your partner from pregnancy, so you
should use a reliable contraceptive if appropriate.
Driving and using machines
Caverject Dual Chamber should not affect your ability to drive or use machines.
Caverject Dual Chamber contains benzyl alcohol and sodium
This medicine contains benzyl alcohol 8.9 mg/ml.
Benzyl alcohol may cause allergic reactions.
Using large amounts of Caverject Dual Chamber 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 Dual Chamber is not for
use in children.
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per dose, essentially ‘sodiumfree’.
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
