What Is Trimix?
Trimix is a type of medication that’s injected directly into the penis to help you get an erection.
It’s a mix of three different medicines that work together to increase blood flow to your penis, which is key for an erection.
Trimix has three main ingredients:
- Papaverine: This medicine may help relax the blood vessels in your penis. When these vessels relax, more blood can flow in.
- Phentolamine: This may also help open up your blood vessels, making it easier for blood to get into your penis and stay there.
- Alprostadil (Prostaglandin E1): This ingredient may act like a natural substance your body makes. It tells your blood vessels to relax, which may help you get a firm erection.
Studies suggest these three ingredients may work together to make sure enough blood flows into your penis and stays there, creating a strong erection.
The Potential Success Rate of Trimix
Trimix is known for being very promising. Most men who use Trimix find that it may help them get an erection.
In research studies, 89% of Trimix users had an erection strong enough for intercourse.
You may usually expect the effect to start pretty quickly, in about 5 to 20 minutes. Once it starts working, the erection can last up to about one hour.
How Trimix May Help When Other ED Pills Don’t Work
Many men first try pills like sildenafil (brand name: ViagraⓇ) or tadalafil (brand name: CialisisⓇ) for their ED. These pills work well for a lot of people, but they don’t work for everyone.
Trimix is considered a second-line treatment option for those resistant to traditional oral ED drugs. Studies suggest that men taking Trimix after trying an oral ED med increased their erection outcome by 92%.
Trimix Duration
Generally, Trimix-induced erections can last for 30 minutes to several hours.
The duration of Trimix’s effect can vary among individuals and depends on factors such as dosage, individual response, and level of sexual stimulation.
Treating Priapism After a Trimix Injection
Priapism, a prolonged and painful erection lasting longer than four hours, is a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment.
If priapism occurs after using Trimix, it’s essential to seek medical help promptly.
Treatment may involve draining blood from the penis using a needle or catheter, administering medications to constrict blood vessels and reduce blood flow to the penis, or, in severe cases, surgical intervention to relieve pressure and prevent tissue damage.
Remember: Always seek immediate medical attention if you have an erection lasting longer than four hours.
Potential Downsides of Trimix
Like any medicine, Trimix has some possible downsides:
- Injection: The biggest downside for many is that it’s an injection. You have to inject the medicine into the side of your penis, which can be a bit uncomfortable at first. Your doctor or nurse will teach you how to do it safely.
- Pain or Bruising: Some men might feel a little pain or get a small bruise where they inject the medicine. In a few cases, men
- Prolonged Erection (Priapism): In rare cases, an erection can last too long (more than four hours). This is called priapism, and it needs immediate medical attention. We’ll talk more about this below.
- Scarring: Very rarely, repeated injections can lead to some scarring in the penis.
The Cost of Trimix
The cost of a Trimix shot can vary. It depends on things like where you live, the pharmacy you use, and whether your insurance covers it.
