Definition: (pa-PAV-uh-reen) a drug which causes blood vessels to expand, thereby increasing blood flow. When papaverine is injected into the penis, it produces an erection by increasing blood flow to the penis. A US brand name is Pavarine. When used in conjunction with phentolamine, it is usually called a ''bi-mix.''.
