Hooray for Invicorp!

 It says use the whole vial.. But is it OK to use slightly less in order to check for adverse reactions first?

Caverject ached so bad I never used it again. 

Thanks

I know this might sound silly but  I was taking the needles about to show  my andrologist and whilst I had left the at one of. My. Relatives houses they threw them all. In the bin. 

All The needles and bits  were still In the packs  not Opened or loose. Will they still be OK to use? 

I assume in the packs they are sterile.. I just don't want to get an infection.. Or should I aquire some more. 

The  fluid itself is fine I left that at home in the fridge. 

Also how long will the medication last I the fridge? I've had it 3 months now and haven't used it yet as pills Working OK atm. 

Thanks. 

😅 Very good.

I'm nearing d day for using this now.. It's sat In the fridge for 3cmonths.

Expiry is July 10th so I assume it's fine up until that point?

Had a couple more questions. 

Can I pre make the medicine all ready and then  take it out with me? Will it last a few hours outside the fridge?

This will allow me to   keep some spontaniety. 

If you are going away how do you store it? 

I'd like to take it away for a weekend...  Can I surround a vial in ice packs? 

How soon will I know if I've misfired? I'd like to take my normal tadalafil or sildenafil if I misfire, but don't want to do that then have it suddenly kick in. 

Thanks

I tried Invicorp for the first time yesterday (almost exactly 6 months since my op) so was interesting to read the varied experiences on this thread. I went into the hospital where I'd had my op to get briefed on it by the Urology nurse. The result was impressive I have to say - but maybe too good. Got back home and pretty much 3 hours after injection before things started to 'calm down'. Was getting worried that I might have had to be taking a trip to A&E. Although not quite qualifying for Priapism and no pain experienced I'm wondering whether a 3-hour boner will do more harm than good? I wanted to try the injections primarily for rehab rather than sex (am single currently) having read about the blood oxygenation issue vs. VED pump - although after 6 months I wonder whether it's going to make a lot of difference. That said I have been taking Tadalifil off an on since the op (it doesn't make anything happen but I believe the theory is that PED5 inhibitors can improve blood flow to the area even without an erection) and have been using the pump more or less daily since about 8 weeks post op. Anyway have asked the question of the nurse but have often found useful stuff on this forum.

As mentioned I am 6 months post prostatectomy. It was described as an 'excellent' bilateral nerve spare. To date I have not managed any natural response 'down there' to sexual stimulation. I did seem to get a few nocturnal 'semis' every now and then but not recently. I use the pump for rehab and obtain a pretty full erection (as it's for rehab not using the ring just bringing it up and down in the pump).

Any insights / thoughts / experiences appreciated. 

Thanks

Rich Fisher,

Yes, as francij1 has said, always keep some Sudafed capsules handy after using any of the injections (e.g. Alprostadil or Invicorp).  It is claimed to be an antidote.  I've never had to use Sudafed, so can't confirm whether it works or not.

I have nasal congestion and regularly use Sudafed spray. I have ED and regularly use Invicorp. I haven't found that Sudafed effects my erections. I can breathe easily whilst having penetrative sex.

Did you manage to get the Invicorp?  I'm having problems getting hold of it.  😪

The urologist wants me to try the Viridal again, seems to think I'm injecting in the wrong place. However, I had to cancel the appointment and six weeks later I've got a telephone appointment!

Thank you.   Fingers crossed it doesn't take too long.  👍
