Has anyone tried TriMix-gel?

      I discovered this forum about a month ago, and its been very helpful and a great source of information.  I am aprroximately 4 months beyond open RPP surgery.  The incontinence has basically resolved itself, and while I need a pad while working out, otherwise I am pad-free.  The ED is another matter.  I have had basically no response to any of the pills, notwithstanding trying all 3.

     I am not looking forward to the prospect of injections.  I see that TriMix Labs now has a gel product that does not require an injection and can be carried at room temperature rather than refrigerated.  Does anyone have any expereience with using this gel product?  From what I've read here, getting the right mixture/strength of the solution was somewhat tricky, and I was also wondering how that worked with the gel product.

     Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

 

Welcome to the club. There's at least one guy here who uses/has used the gel. Maybe he will see your post. I don't remember who ti is, sorry. You don't say, but I maybe read in your post that maybe you think the gel is rubbed on? It is inserted with an applicator in the uretha and adsorbed from there. Still some mechanism of insertion into the body. I seem to recall the effectiveness of it was in the 35 to 40% successful response range. the injections raise the sucess rate to the 85 to 100% range. It may have improved since I read that. I can tell you that once you get over the aversion to injecting yourself, and make that first stick that it is virtually painless to inject. The needle is the same as a diabetic uses and not an issue to the vast majority of the users. Hope you stay around and share with us the story if you do go with the gel...

rob, the 5/16 needles seem to work fine for most men. I haven't heard anyone here say theirs didn't work. Graphic content begins: I can see why they wouldn't if a guy had a very thick penis. I would guess that on most men, most outer penile walls are less than 5/16 inch thick when flaccid. Get a few and try it out. I have the 30ga 1/2 inch and the 31 ga 5/16 inch and the 1/2 inch are too long for me, and cause me to overshoot the target and push all the way thru the inner wall of the cavernous cavity, resulting in missed injections unless I use my preplump tech. and am very careful. The 5/16 with my patented preplumping pump and ring technique works fine for me. Experiment and see..

I tried MUSE but it never worked for me and only gave me the burning pain from the alprostadil. Studies have shown that it is effective only about 30 to 40% of the time. However, I would try it and if it works, you are one of the lucky ones.

I have switched to the Trimix injection, which works great.  

Rob, Caverject does have an effectiveness period of about 3 months optimum, 6 months normal and up to 9 months in some cases. My vial says 3 months, but I am still using some 6 mts. old. The time starts when the powder is activated or the liquid is prescribed. In order of effectiveness the higher strengths of Caverject or its generic (alprostadil) is strongest and does the best job. Example: .10cc of 40mcg , then .10cc of 20mcg, then Trimix normally is 30/1/10mcg or 30/1/20mcg, then Bimix, in order of strengths. The higher the strength and/or amount of alprostadil in the solution gives the best results for most men who need that particular drug. It is very effective in chemically activating and closing the veinous valves in the penis to keep the blood in. Those men who have a lesser problem with that can use smaller amounts of Trimix or Bimix successfully, as they regain function of the veinous valves. The side effects are greatest from it also, the fabled aching and pain. It's a trade-off- alprostadil for a good response versus the aching and pain experienced by most men. My Trimix 30/1/10mcg at .20cc is about ideal for me, trading off a little bit of aching for dependable response each time.

Hi Stonesfan,

I have not used the gel, but have used the tri-mix injection for about 4 years.

After the first 4 or 5 times, there is virtually no pain using the injection.
It's VERY effective.

When I see my urologist, I'll ask him about the topical gel.

I have experience with Trimix Gel .. but since Stones seems lonnnnnng gone 1.5 years (how do these old posts keep popping up anyways?) with only one post, well, if he ever comes back I would advise:

"DO A SEARCH OF THE SITE".

Way back then there was probably not much about it, but now there is.

Have at it!

Dear Friends,

I am suffering of ED for a long period now and the available medication in the Brazilian market is not working for me (we only have the pills here).

I read about the trimix gel on this forum and was wondering if you know how could I get this medication here. Apparently it is only available in US.

If anyone could help me!

Many thanks in advance and kind regards.
