Should patients vary their own dosage when using injections for erectile dysfunction?
There seem to be two different approaches taken by doctors, and I am wondering if there are any formal guidelines or "best practices?"

In the approach I have experienced, the doctor shows the patient how
to perform the injection. The patient then injects a small dose in
the office, and waits to determine the effect. The doctor then
sends the patient home with instructions to gradually increase the
dosage, in small amounts, until he is able to achieve a satisfactory
erection.
The other approach is for the patient to make a series of
appointments. At each appointment, the patient injects a
pre-determined amount, under the doctor's supervision, until the
right dosage is determined.
