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.
