Abstract
In order to test the capability of a reinjection to improve an incomplete pharmaco induced erection, we submitted 30 impotent patients, with incomplete erectile responses to 10 µg PGE1+1 mg phentolamine, to a second injection of 15 µg PGE1+1.5 mg phentolamine+30 mg papaverine, fifteen minutes after the first injection. Twenty-one patients improved their erection including nine who achieved complete rigidity. We conclude that incomplete pharmaco induced erections can frequently be improved by reinjection.
