I saw my Uro today and told him about my trip to visit my GF in the Philippines at the end of September and that I wanted to take my Trimix with me and we discussed the refrigeration problem that I might encouter with that.

He suggested that I try Edex because it is not required to be kept cold and gave me a prescription for a couple of 10 MCG kits to try out.

Currently .25 cc of Trimix works great for me. Anyone have any experiences with Edex vs Trimix they would share with me.....just doing my home work....

Cheers,

Curt

Curt: Edex works great for me.. If you don't get the ache from the drug it should be a go for you. It would make traveling a bit easier. It is more expensive than trimix but you may just use it for this trip. I actually use the same dose of Edex 40 that I use for Trimix.

Hope this helps.

Wow!!! Edex is really expensive.....We to my pharmacy and for a twin pack it was almost $200, my insurance will not pay for it :-(

Anyone have any ideas on how to get it cheaper.....

They covered Trimix, but not Edex? Maybe because you have two open prescriptions? My Ins. will not pay for ED pills that "double up". Maybe the doctor could intercede for you to swap the drug?

Trimix retail at my pharmacy changes constantly, but these days is $180 - $190 "retail" for 10ml. Obviously insurance price is less, but ...

No, they don't cover trimix either :-( but it is affordable....

I pay $100 for a 10 cc vial and only use .25 cc per injection, not bad...

You may want to try calling several pharmacies to check pricing. Back before PC when I was able to use Viagra I found that Costco was 30% less than others. My insurance will not pay for any ED med either. If Edex is available in the Philippines you might try there too. Other wise take your Trimix with you in a sealed ice pack. On the long plane trip you may be able to keep it in the plane's refrigerator. Also keep a copy of the Trimix prescription from the URO with you for TSA and customs inspections.
