Inject into the dorso-lateral aspect in the proximal third of penis, avoid visible veins; rotate inj side and site. Determine optimum dose and give 1^st injections in office. Use lowest effective dose. Vasculogenic, psychogenic, or mixed etiology: initially 2.5mcg; if partial response, repeat 2.5mcg dose within 1hr; during titration: max 2 doses within 24hr period; if more titration is needed, may give in increments of 5–10mcg at least 24hrs apart until optimal dose is achieved. Usual max: 60mcg. Neurogenic etiology: initially 1.25mcg; if partial response, repeat 1.25mcg dose within 1hr; during titration: max 2 doses within 24hr period; if more titration is needed, may give 5mcg at least 24hrs apart until optimal dose is achieved. Usual max: 60mcg. Maintenance for home use: max 3 injections/week; allow at least 24hrs between doses. Adjunct in diagnosis: see full labeling.
