Hello:
Having had a Radical Prostatectomy in January 2022, all efforts were made to have nerve-sparing surgery. Unfortunately this was not possible, and as a consequence have been treated for a degree of erectile dysfunction ever since.
I have been using an injectable erectile dysfunction medication, (Caverject) for a little over 3 years, and it works very effectively for me.
In 2024 Caverject was discontinued in the UK, and my G.P instructed me to switch to Alprostadil which was virtually the same medication. However my problems started with a lack of supply in May of 2025, when I was told that Alprostadil was also out of stock, indefinitely.
My G.P tried very hard to source an alternative medication as it was believed, (then) that the supply situation would be temporary. This has proven not to be the case, and we tried to swap to Viridal, (duo) and even Viridal Powder and Solvent combo. Despite all efforts, non of this medication is available to me, and I have had no suitable alternative for over 10 months now.
I have effectively been told that literally no injectable E.D medication is currently available in the UK........!!
Can anyone tell me if this is the case? and have you had similar experiences?
Any news or information would be greatly appreciated.
Rick
