How is the cost of Caverject determined with insurance coverage?

The final cost of Caverject under an insurance plan varies widely. It depends on your specific policy's formulary, your deductible status, co-pay, or coinsurance requirements. For the most accurate pricing with your insurance, ask your pharmacist to process the prescription with your insurance information. It's also worth noting that even with insurance, using a separate pharmacy savings card or coupon at the point of sale may sometimes offer a lower price than your insurance co-pay.

Is a generic version of Caverject available?

What is Caverject and how is it used?

Caverject is an FDA-approved injectable medication for treating erectile dysfunction. It contains alprostadil, which works by relaxing smooth muscles and dilating blood vessels in the penis to increase blood flow and induce an erection. It is administered via a fine needle directly into the side of the penis. Patients are instructed to clean the injection site with alcohol, rotate injection locations to minimize irritation, and apply pressure after the injection to reduce bruising. The medication typically begins working within 5 to 20 minutes, with effects lasting up to an hour. Usage should not exceed three times per week, and the dose must be carefully determined by a doctor based on individual health factors and response.
