1. Q: How is the correct dosage determined? How do I know when I have the right dose?

   A: With the appropriate amount of drug as determined by their physician (usually less than 1cc), erections usually occur in 5 to 10 minutes, last for 30 minutes or so, and become more rigid if sexual stimulation occurs.

2. Q: Is sexual stimulation required for an erection ? Can I use less medication if I have more stimulation?

3. Q: Sometimes a dose that has worked fine before, produces no erection. I'm sure I was in the right place. What happened?

   A: You were probably in the wrong place or too deep or too shallow, or the medication was expired.
