Part 1. Formulations

Our goals in this endeavor are to improve understanding among urologists relative to Intracavernosal Injection (ICI) for erectile dysfunction (ED), and to try and standardize our delivery of care relative to treatment and education.

A number of providers prescribe items like Trimix, with no thought given to the particular formulation or implications. Many older physicians will use "stampers" with rarely used formulations, many of which may be far below the more commonly used recipes. Concepts like thresholds for batch testing and even timelines for stability based on refrigeration/frozen storage are poorly understood by many prescribers.

We hope that input from compounding pharmacists can help urologists be more efficient with prescribing ICI for patients. Your response by October 17, 2020, is greatly appreciated.
