[Prevention of prolonged drug-induced erection by intracavernous injection of etilefrine].
Here in we report the results of intracavernous injection of etilefrine hydrochloride in a group of 12 patients who developed rigid erection after a diagnostic test with intracavernous PGE1 injection or cavernosometry. Etilefrine reversed erection in all cases. No side-effects or significant changes in blood pressure were noted. Etilefrine is believed to be a safe and low cost alternative to other alpha-adrenergic agents in the prevention of drug-induced priapism.
