MUSE® Reconstitution

Postby NapoleonInRags » Tue Feb 10, 2015 11:34 am

I recently purchased a 1,000µg MUSE® (alprostadil) urethral suppository from an online vendor. Instead of using it as directed I reconstituted the medicated pellet in 15ml of Bacteriostatic Sodium Chloride USP 0.9% for injection, resulting in the following concentration of alprostadil:

Alprostadil - ⅔µg/unit - 66⅔µg/ml
2.0µg ------- 3.0 units -- 0.03ml
4.0µg ------- 6.0 units -- 0.06ml
6.0µg ------- 9.0 units -- 0.09ml
8.0µg ------12.0 units -- 0.12ml
10.0µg ---- 15.0 units -- 0.15ml
12.0µg ---- 18.0 units -- 0.18ml
14.0µg ---- 21.0 units -- 0.21ml
16.0µg ---- 24.0 units -- 0.24ml
18.0µg ---- 27.0 units -- 0.27ml
20.0µg ---- 30.0 units -- 0.30ml

I then transferred the 15ml solution to three 5ml vials. I froze two vials and refrigerated the third. After 33 days the refrigerated solution has not lost its efficacy.

Has anyone else done something similar?

Seems to me anything you would do with Muse that doesn't involve inserting it in the urethra would be an improvement. Of all the stuff I tried on my long ED journey, Muse stands out as the least effective and most painful.

N-i-R,

Congrats on figuring out the cheapest per-shot method of making PGE-1 shots on the entire planet.

When you can get 40 or 50 shots per pellet -- instead of one 'shot' urethrally -- that sure is nice.

I've been doing similar for around 4 years now (time sure flies when having fun). I also take it one step further by combining the PGE-1 with 20 units of Bi-Mix -- which does cut the PGE-1 ache a bit -- but does increase the cost per shot.

On your mls per pellet - I can't fault it -- as long as you know how much each unit will give you. I just use 3 mls per pellet (so 333ug/ml) - and use that as feed stock to make a vial of lower strength for the proper 20-30ug shots.

Also I advise anyone who is not good at basic math and who does not know a ml from a mm to not even think about doing this... ( you all know who you are -- the one who were arguing with their math teacher "We're never going to USE algebra in REAL LIFE" ... while us nerds were learning it for keeps ;-))

RP 2008 ... MUSE 2008-9 .. TriMix Gel 2009 .. Trimix 2009-2015 ... PGE-1 2016-2019 ..Misoprostal 2019 Onward. All worked.
