    [A trial of the use pf prostaglandin E1 (Edex, Caverject) for the diagnosis and treatment of erectile dysfunction]

    [Article in Russian]

    Kovalev VA, Koroleva SV.

    The authors have examined 48 patients aged 17-70 years with erectile disorders. In 15 cases sexual adaptation was achieved after teaching them autoinjections. Pharmacological aid with PGE1 (Edex, Caverject) proved effective for sexual adaptation of patients with erectile disorders. In case of well adjusted dose and strict compliance of the autoinjection regimen the number of complications was minimal. In 50-70-year-olds PGE1 do not cause systemic complications due to pharmacokinetics and endogenic nature of PGE1. This prostaglandin is highly effective in some forms of psychogenic erectile dysfunction especially in expecting failure. For such patients 1 or 2 autoinjections of minimal dose are enough to correct erection.
