Abstract
The widespread use of penile injections in the management of erectile dysfunction has led to an increased incidence of priapism. It has been suggested that terbutaline, a beta-agonist, might be beneficial in tr eating priapism in this setting. We randomized 24 patients with prolon ged erections to a prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial . We did not find any benefit of oral terbutaline over placebo in thes e patients.
