Personally I use bi-mix and have for over 7 years now. I am 24 and am paralyzed from the waist down due to a car accident when I was 16. Bi-mix usually cost me around $45 per vial and I get about 15-20 injections per vial. The shelf life says it is 30 days, but I actually used a bi-mix I hadn't thrown away 10 months after it's purchase and it still worked perfectly. Sometimes I go through dry spells with the ladies which means that if I threw away the vials after 30 days I would be paying out way more than its worth. So don't do that. My urologist said if the drug is expired the worst it will do is not work, so there is no danger for using this drug after the expiration date. Also I read that you said your doc was very careful with the injections. Mine wasn't so careful, but he did give me very good instructions and I was able to find my own dose. Also beware that over time you will need to adjust the doses. I had a period of about 6 months where all I needed was .3 cc, then periods where I need .7 cc. I even went through about 4 months when the drug wouldn't work at all. It's weird, so just make sure you know to be alert and adjust the doses accordingly.

Last week as I was meeting the Director of Patient Care for our largest local hospital I got a surprise tidbit of info.  COSTCO has the best drug prices in our town and membership is NOT required at the pharmacy.  So if COSTCO is close give them a call.

i am having a issues since my robotic surgery.  looking to try injections but no local urologist is willing to try trimix.  they only want to use Caverject or Edex.  have read all the posts and even have friends in other areas that use trimix with good results.  why the problem with the urologists?  i live in Nw. Indiana.  am one yuear out from surgery done at IU medical center in indianapolis and have no other issues.

Hi maltratado45,

Trimix is not your run of the mill Rx that can be filled at a drug store or a Costco, it needs to be mixed at a compounding pharmacy. If none is nearby that you can pick it up they overnight the vial packed in ice packs to you

I'm an ex military and TriCare for Life only pays for 6 Cialias pills for $22 so I can't imagine what Bimix or Trimix would cost. Does anyone have any ideaa? I'm a Vietnam vet and agent orange statistic.

Pigibank,

I got a scrip for levitra through Tricare @ no charge 6 per month, but when I submitted the $80.00 for Trimix it wasn,t covered.  Other members say they are getting it covered through the VA.

This topic goes back to 2007, nearly FIVE YEARS AGO. Try to post on a newer thread or open your own, so you won't get lost. Lots of good information here.

letricmon,

This is a very old thread. You would be best served by starting a new thread, and introducing yourself.

Even after suggestions that folks open new threads -

I am locking this one just because it is old.
