What is the difference between the Trimix and just mono alprostadil?

Trimix has three drug mixed together and many different formulas. Usually some combination of prostaglandin, papervine, and phentolamine.

Adoprostadil is just prostaglandin, which is a name brand medicine, cost more, is generally more painful.
Age: 39, Diabetic (well controlled) HBP (since teens, less well controlled, but ok),
mild ED for 3 years, l arginine l citrulline and norvaline (amino acid stack) helped.
Pills: ineffective. Started trimix: 6/24/18, EXTREMELY effective.

Surferdad,

Others have answered your question, so I won't repeat what they have said. I will express some concerns that I have based on what you have not shared with us. I will assume that you have had some issues with erectile dysfunction.

That being said, asking about penile injections is certainly legit, but may be premature. The first step in dealing with ED is to recognize that ED is a symptom; therefore, your first step in relieving the symptom is to identify the problem correctly. The first step in that process is to have a complete medical work-up: blood chemistry profile (including Free Testosterone levels, sugar levels, including A1C, etc.), blood pressure, heart function, other circulatory stuff, prostate health, etc. etc. Find the problem, fix the problem, and the symptom may simply go away. Even if not, you can treat the ED (symptom) all day long but if you do not deal with the underlying problem, you're simply, as we say down South, pissing in the wind.

Start with your internist/GP/whatever she may be called in Hawaii. From there you may be promoted to Urology; you may, in fact, be promoted to Cardiology or even Oncology. Once you do get to Urology, that is the time to talk about relieving your ED symptoms.

Perhaps you've done all this; it's just not clear from your post.

All the best. Hoping for hard times.
Born 1948, wed 1969. BPH & Type II Diabetes at age 35. TURP-2002; ED even before that--diabetes. Cardiac valve surgery: 2007 & 2019. Poor results with pills. Started trimix injections in Nov, 2010. Great results from the very beginning.

Thank you all. To answer a few questions, I recently received brachytherapy for prostate cancer. The PDE5's are not as effective as they once were. How do you find a pharmacy that mixes?
