Caverject is the brand name of a chemical injection called alprostadil, which produced by Upjohn, used to treat Erectile dysfunction (impotence in men). Caverject Sterile Powder contains alprostadil as the naturally occurring form of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), and it is designated chemically as (11alpha, 13E, 15S)-11,15-dihydroxy-9-oxoprost-13-en-1-oic acid. Its molecular weight is 354.49. Alprostadil is a white to off-white crystalline powder with a melting point between 115° and 116°C. Its solubility at 35°C is 8000 micrograms (mcg) per 100 milliliter double distilled water. Using either the Caverject Impulse or the conventional Caverject kit, the mixing of the alprostadil dry powder with sterile, bacteriostatic water is done first. The amount to be injected is then selected using the Caverject Impulse kit dial, or in the case of the conventional kit, the correct amount is measured in to the syringe for injection. The injection site is selected on the side of the penis, and cleaned using the supplied isopropyl alcohol pads. The site is roughly perpendicular to the top and bottom of the penis, and represents the best possible entry point of the needle into the corpus cavernosum. LESS
