HI I Had A Prostatectomy 1.5 Years Ago, Since Then
Question: HI
I had a prostatectomy 1.5 years ago, since then I have been impotent. Last night I injected trimax into my penis. After about 45 min I had a full erection. I went to sleep and 4 hours later woke up and still had the erection. The instructions said to go to emergency if that happened - however I poured cold water on it, had a cool shower and peddled on a stationary bike for about 20 min. and the erection went away, though was not completely flaccid.
1) Do you think there will be any complications?
2) Should I take this medication again? and what are the likely side affects?
I took only the recommended amount for the first time which supposedly was a very low dose 0.05 ml (5 units).
thanks XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
It is not the point of recommended or not.
Detailed Answer:
Hi sir,
Welcome back,
I would mean that it is clearly evident that you have suffered the complication because of injection, so your body may not be tolerant to the drug as it varies from individual to individual which is known as pharmacokinetics.
So, I would advise you to opt for the most effective treatment and least risk of complications.
Hope this information would help you.
