| Instructions | What is priapism: Priapism is an involuntary erection which lasts more than 4 hours and is unrelieved by ejaculation. This condition is a true urological emergency and early treatment allows the best chance for functional recovery. If you experience priapism, or an erection lasting longer than 4 hours and/or is exquisitely painful then immediately visit the ER for treatment. Phenylephrine HCl 0.1% - Inject 0.25ml into the penis every 3-5 minutes (alternating sides) or up to a dose escalation of 1,000 mcg (1mL) for up to one hour until detumescence occurs. After injection, the puncture site should be compressed and the corpora cavernosa massaged to facilitate drug distribution. If you have been prescribed Tri-Mix or any other ICP injection and are concerned about priapism you may request a prescription for Phenylephrine to have on hand. |
