what are immediate, extended, and delayed releases? What are the differences between an immediate release tablet/capsule, an extended release tablet/capsule, and a delayed release tablet/capsule? Immediate-release tablets and capsules release the active ingredient within a small period of time, typically less than 30 minutes. Extended-release tablets and capsules release the active ingredient at a sustained and controlled release rate over a period of time.
ICI (injectibles). Intracavernousal injection therapy (ICI) is the most effective nonsurgical treatment for ED. Intracavernosal injection therapy has been an effective and reliable ED therapy since 1983. Alprostadil, bi-mix (papaverine and phentolamine), and tri-mix (papaverine, phentolamine, and alprostadil) are all injectable vasodilators used to treat ED.
IUI is a more efficient method of artificial insemination than ICI and, because of its generally higher success rate, is usually the insemination procedure of choice for single women and lesbians using donor sperm in a fertility centre. IUI can be used in conjunction with controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH).
