Any experiences with invicorp (Aviptadil, Phentolamine)? Is it better than Caverject?
I am pretty anti injections for ED since it caused my Peyronies and ultimate loss of length. Some people do get away with it for longer and with fewer problems than other men. I injected bimix for 8 months 2 -3 times weekly. Bimix is Phentolamine / Papaverine
TriMix adds Alprostadil. Alprostadil belongs to a class of medications known as prostaglandins
Caverject is Alprostadil alone. Aviptadil is Alprostadil and Phentolamine So it is a type of bimix that swaps Alprostadil for Papaverine
From my experience and understanding, Caverject causes pain with the erection (I only had one shot). It is just an aching that you wish would go away. I THINK however that it does not normally cause fibrosis where the other two drugs can cause fibrosis. Basically, you choose between possible painful erections or fibrosis although these are side-effects that all men do not experience.
You just have to experiment to see what works best for you but PLEASE monitor you size, bend, etc. Everyone that injects needs to be very alert to any changes in their penis. Get precise measurement first and monitor any changes in size or shape. Keep in mind that just because you stop injecting at the first sign of fibrosis or deformity does NOT mean the deformity will stop progressing. Once Peyronies Disease has been triggered it runs a course of its own.
@hawk: what gauge needle were you using?
Very small insulin needles 30 gauge. Sometimes 29 Guage
Also, if injecting: after EVERY injection compress the site for 8-10 minutes to stop all INTERNAL bleeding which can lead to micro trauma and peyronies. (Just waiting for the external bleeding to stop us NOT adequate.). These are Dr Lyes instructions and he is convinced this is what creates the problems w injections (my peyronies was also caused by injections). I don't know if all or most peyronies injection induced cases can be prevented this way—but certainly an important prevention effort.

This is clearly important. Whole blood deposited in tissue can by itself cause fibrosis. That is often the cause of adhesions after surgery. Having said that, the agents in Bimix are known to have a side-effect of fibrosis. It is on the pharmaceutical insert. In addition, Dr. Eid assured me this is known to erectile dysfunction doctors.
Oh I had known this I would have started w the Rx that is less likely to cause fibrosis. A sticky on injection drugs might be a helpful addition to the ED forum.

Thanks. I'll try it. If it doesn't work I'll have to get an implant.
Invicorp is way better than Caverjet- much better erections and zero pain after injection
Also using the caverjet (Viridal duo) system - I find the needles are difficult to insert/ hurts more. The ache from the alprostadil just makes you want to not use it. For me the ache from feeling any pleasure.
Try Invicorp before giving up on injections - much less pain to do actual injection and no horrible aching. Only issue is that you need to store in fridge.
Good luck
