Combining 10 And 20mcg Caverject

Updated

My doctor said to increase dosage from 20mcg to 25 and then in small increments if necessary. He has prescribed both 10 and 20 mcg packets. Do I use the same syringe and fluid to mix both vials or use separate syringes and fluids which would result it having to have two injections, 20 from the first and then half of the 10 mcg syringe to give 25 mcg?

Same problem. What I did since 40 mcg is not available th EU, is use two vials of powder and one ampule of benzile water supplied. Mix the ampule with one vial of powder then transfer to the other vial of powder to get 40mcg then withdraw 30mcg (. 75 ml)

Yes, as Geno said, there shouldn't be a problem with mixing them both to administer it just once, but you should check with your doctor, or pharmacist to be sure.

The FDA lists Caverject's typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, rash, and priapism.

Is there anything I can help with?

Can you take two 10mcg Caverject dosages if you can't get the 20mcg dose?
