Complete rigid erections were reached in 10% (MUSETM) vs 48% (ProstavasinTM).

In terms of side effects the reported penile pain/burning-rate after MUSETM was 31.4% compared to 10.6% after i.c. Alprostadil. In addition after MUSETM clinically relevant systemic side-effects like dizziness, sweating and hypotension occurred in 5.8% with syncope in 1%. No circulatory side-effects were encountered after i.c. Alprostadil. Urethral bleeding after MUSETM-application was observed in 4.8%. Due to the superior ef®cacy and lower side-effects self-injection therapy with Alprostadil remains the `Gold Standard' in the management of male impotence. MUSETM should be reserved

Efficacy of intracavernosal injections seems superior to that of the intraurethral delivery of drugs, and this may explain the current larger diffusion of the former modality. Safety of these two therapeutic options is well established; however, the attrition rate with these approaches is significant and most patients eventually drop out of treatment. Newer agents with better efficacy-safety profiles and using user-friendly devices for drug administration may potentially increase the long-term satisfaction rate achieved with these therapies. Topical therapy has the potential to become a first- line treatment for erectile dysfunction because it acts locally and is easy to use. At this time, however, the crossing of the barrier caused by the penile skin and tunica albuginea has limited the efficacy of the drugs used.

TriMix is especially useful when patients are unable to take PDE5 Inhibitors because they are taking nitrates, certain beta blockers, or experience severe side effects from the oral medications. Alternative to Tablets TriMix injections are an alternative to PDE5 Inhibitor tablets (Viagra®, Levitra®, Cialis®) and most commonly include the mixture of 3 drugs; phentolamine, papaverine and alprostadil. TriMix is especially useful when patients are unable to take PDE5 Inhibitors because they are taking nitrates, certain beta blockers, or experience severe side effects from the oral medications How It Works: An intracavernous injection, is the most effective non-surgical treatment for ED, according to the American Urologic Association. Injections into the penis, unlike oral medications, trigger an automatic erection in less than 5 minutes. TriMix is a mixture of three vasodilators that when injected, cause the corpus cavernosum to relax, expand and fill with blood, creating a powerful erection Dosage: The initial dose should be 0.1 cc Wait 3 days before increasing dosage. Increase by 0.025 cc until a satisfactory dose is reached. The maximum dose is 0.50 cc. Do not be discouraged by a poor result with the first few injections, as the initial dose has been kept low to avoid a prolonged erection Reversing The Test Dose: Phenylephrine is commonly used to reverse the effects of TriMix to prevent an erection lasting too long while the patient is learning their correct dosage.

Date of Revision: 17,300 Trans-Canada Highway June 01, 2016 Kirkland, Quebec H9J 2M5 Control No. 193414 ® TM Pharmacia Enterprises SARL Pfizer Canada Inc., Licensee Pfizer Canada Inc. 2016 PRODUCT MONOGRAPH PrCAVERJECT STERILE POWDER (Alprostadil for Injection) Prostaglandin ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Alprostadil is a prostaglandin with various pharmacological actions that include vasodilation and inhibition of platelet aggregation, inhibition of gastric secretion, stimulation of intestinal smooth muscle and stimulation of uterine smooth muscle. Alprostadil, when given to impotent men by intracavernous injection, induces erections within 5 to 20 minutes after administration. The duration of erection is dose-dependent. The mechanism of penile erection involves a complex series of neurovascular events. Alprostadil injected intracavernosally causes tumescence by increasing cavernous blood flow through relaxation of trabecular smooth muscle and dilation of cavernosal arteries. With regards to the action of alprostadil on penile structures, in most animal species tested, alprostadil had relaxant effects on retractor penis and corpus cavernosum urethrae in vitro. Alprostadil also relaxed isolated preparations of human corpus cavernosum and spongiosum as well as cavernous arterial segments previously contracted by either noradrenaline or PGF2α. In pigtail monkeys (Macaca nemestrina), alprostadil increased cavernous arterial blood flow in vivo. The degree and duration of cavernous smooth muscle relaxation in this animal model was dose-dependent. Other actions of PGE1 involve the cardiovascular system, central nervous system (CNS), autonomic nervous system, respiratory system, gastrointestinal system and hematopoietic system. Pharmacokinetics Absorption The absolute bioavailability of alprostadil following intracavernosal injection has not been determined.

  • Cancer Basics for the Caregiver It Is Common to Make Many Assumptions When You Hear the Word “Cancer.” Cancer Is Not One Disease, but Rather a Family of Diseases
    Caregiver’s Guide Types of Caregiving Caregiving can range from 24/7 hands-on assistance to driving someone to appointments to long-distance caregiving. Every situation is different. Your loved one has cancer and you want to help. At first, it all seems overwhelming. Everything that you took for granted is suddenly uncertain. Many caregivers are naturally worried about the person with cancer, and also worried about the rest of life—taking care of other family members, paying the bills, maintaining the house, and so much more. It’s important to realize two things: 1) You’re not alone— many other people have been in this situation before, and 2) there are resources available to help. We’ve prepared this booklet to guide and assist you.

A total of 16 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into two groups. In group A, chloral hydrate was injected intraperitoneally. Rats in group B were induced in 5% isofurane for 3 min and then maintained in 1.0–1.5% isofurane. Mean arterial pressure (MAP), respiratory rate (RR) and heart rate were monitored during all experiments. After ICP detection, tail vein and carotid artery blood were collected. The maximum ICP value, MAP and ICP/MAP ratio in group B was signifcantly higher than in that of group A. The RR in group A was lower than in that of group B, but the heart rate in group A was higher than in group B. There were no signifcant diferences in both pO2 and pCO2 between groups. While the data showed that animals in group A were relatively hypoxemic. Isofurane inhalation anesthesia in detection of erectile function could ofer a relatively more stable physical state than in that under the efect of chloral hydrate intraperitoneal anesthesia. Isofurane inhalation anesthesia is more suitable for ICP test.
