Important Safety Information
CAVERJECT IMPULSE is used to treat erection problems in adult
men. It is given by injection into the side of the penis.
CAVERJECT IMPULSE is not for all men. It is not for those who
have been advised not to have sex. It is not for men who have
penis implants. CAVERJECT IMPULSE should not be used by men
with medical problems that can cause long-lasting erections—4
hours or more. Priapism requires immediate medical attention
because permanent damage to the tissue of the penis and loss of
potency may result. Tell your doctor about all of your medical
conditions before using this drug.
Call your doctor at once if you still have an erection 4 hours
after injection. This is dangerous. You must get medical
attention right away.
The most common side effect of CAVERJECT IMPULSE is mild to
moderate pain after injection. About one third of patients
reported this pain but few stopped CAVERJECT IMPULSE for this
reason.
Men may get a small amount of bleeding at the injection site.
Call your doctor if you notice any redness, lumps, swelling,
tenderness, or curving of the erect penis. Lumps or curving of
the erect penis, including a condition called Peyronie's disease,
were reported in clinical trials with CAVERJECT IMPULSE.
CAVERJECT IMPULSE should not be used more than 3 times per week.
There must be at least 24 hours (1 day) between each dose. It
should produce an erection in about 5 to 20 minutes that should
last about 1 hour. You must be taught by your doctor how to
inject before using this drug.
Do not share needles or syringes. Put used needles and syringes
in a safe container before throwing away. Protect others from
getting stuck by the needle.
