Bimix injections and alcohol ingestion

As some of you know, I was started on Bimix injections for ED in November 2009.  My mixture is a little different than some that I have seen, in that I inject phentalomine and Prostogladin-E, with a little Lidocaine for pain control.  On two seperate occasions this past couple of weeks, I have noticed than when I inject my usual workable dosage, following some alcohol (Bourbon) use, that it seems that the injection results are almost a complete failure.  The response is a non-functional, partial erection.  So, does someone out there have experience with this or am I just weird.  I do not recall that my Urology physician ever told me that alcohol would cancel the functionality of the Bimix.  I am aware that other medications commonly used for ED, i.e., Viagra, Levitra, Cialias, don't work well with alcohol. But, those medications work differently physiologically than the injections.

I am sure that my injection technique is "right on", and having worked in medicine and surgery for the past 35 years, one would think that I would have a good handle on injecting medications.

If anyone has similar experiences with this expensive, and frustrating occurances, I would love to hear your take on it.

I would say, yes the alcohol is wiping out the Bimix. If Sudafeds wipe it out then it stands to reason that something in your bloodstream could also cause it to not work

I use the same bimix combo that you use but have not had that problem. I have an appt. with my uro today and will ask him ( if I can remember).

Thanks guys for the input.

I spoke with the Compound Pharmacist today about this problem.  He suspects that the alcohol could be interferring with the Bimix, and suggests that I experiment with it and see if I can define what is going on.  He also suggests that if I wanted to have a drink of alcohol, I could, and then just increase the doseage of the Bimix to compensate.  That makes me a little nervous, in that, if I injected too much I would be making a trip to the local Emerg. Department to get treated for the dredded "permanant erection".

So, guess the best way to deal with it, is to avoid the alcohol completely, and focus on what we are trying to accomplish in the first place.

Carlos, ..... if you remembered to ask your Urologist about this subject, let me know what they had to say on the matter.

Thanks

If alcohol reduces the blood supply to the important area, that would account for the symptoms. Injections depend on there being a good blood flow to the area, so anything reducing that could cause a flop.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_and_sex says that alcohol causes the body to slow down, so maybe that includes blood supply.
