Alprostadil - Perfect result?

Postby WestLad » Wed Dec 03, 2025 5:09 am

This post is aimed at UK users, where straight Alprostadil (Caverject / Viridal /generic Alprostadi)l is one of the two available prescribed options.
I am Interested to hear what others think are their ideas of ideal responses to Alprostadil.

I have been tracking Dose, Reliability, Rigidity, Duration, Response Time, Pain and Consistency since I reverted to Alprostadil after several years on Invicorp (when it started to become less reliable / effective).

    Dose - the optimal dose for me is 5mcg/ml.
    Reliability - this dose gives very consistent and predictable results.
    Rigidity - 10 out of 10. (Back to my youth….!)
    Duration - between 75- 90 minutes
    Response Time - full rigidity in about 4 minutes
    Pain - A trade-off with dose / duration for me. At these parameters, residual pain is minimal.
    Consistencency - Very reliable, and repeatable.

I can achieve a much longer duration with a higher dose, but this brings residual pain, so not worth it for me.

When I started on Invicorp, I would say that it was never painful, but over time it became less reliable, and ‘rigidity’ started to fade - hence my request to go back to Alprostadil.

What are your thoughts?
