What CAVERJECT Impulse is used for
CAVERJECT Impulse may be prescribed by your doctor for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (inability to maintain an erection to have sexual intercourse).
CAVERJECT Impulse may also be used to help in the diagnosis of erectile dysfunction.
CAVERJECT Impulse contains alprostadil as the active ingredient. Alprostadil is also known as prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) and is found naturally in many parts of your body.
CAVERJECT Impulse works by increasing the blood flow to your penis. The increased blood flowing into the penis is trapped in the spongy erectile tissue of the penis called the corpora cavernosa. When these chambers fill with blood they swell and your penis becomes erect.
CAVERJECT Impulse is injected into a specific area of the penis and should produce an erection in 5 to 20 minutes. The erection should last for about 30 to 60 minutes.
CAVERJECT Impulse is available only with a doctor's prescription.
Your doctor may have prescribed CAVERJECT Impulse for another reason. Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why CAVERJECT Impulse has been prescribed for you.

* have a penile implant
* have certain illnesses such as leukaemia, multiple myeloma, sickle cell anaemia or any other condition which causes your erection to last for a long time (priapism)
* have abnormal thickening of the tissues of your penis.
