Edex Injection Site

Updated

I injected edex for the first time at home yesterday, and got little response, but I think I may have injected it too close to the glands. I didn't get a terrific response at the physician's office either and think I'm going to have to titrate the dosage, but I did want to ask about the injection site. The patient information recommends mid-shaft, but if you look at the prescribing information under "Dosage and Administration", I see a bit of conflicting language: "The site of injection is usually along the lateral aspect of the proximal third of the penis." This makes me think it should be more toward the base rather than mid-shaft. I'd be interested in others' experiences.

I have used EDEX now for over a year. I inject at base of penis - if top middle is 12 noon then either at 2 or 10 depending on side. Insert needle far enough. You feel by pushing with your hand. it enters the soft tissue running along base of penis. If you do this, you will get an erection.

Yes, inject it in the base, not the middle of the shaft! That's not a pleasant idea.
