Comparison - Trimix vs Alprostadil only

Hello to all,

I am relatively new to injecting and in my country only Alprostadil (e.g. Caverject / Virdal etc) are approved.

Sadly I am under the impression my dosage of Alprostadil 10mcg is on the higher side - but I am interested how Trimix compares.

If I understood correctly e.g. 15 units of a 30-1-10 Trimix is just 1.5mcg of Alprostadil. Thats not even used for diagnostic use in my country.

Would be very happy if someone could shed some light.

Best regard

I have used both the side affect of alprostadil is in some guys a dull pain so trimix allowes them to lower the amount of this drug by adding the 2 others ... Its my understand that the alprostadil is the main drug that makes you hard the other two i heard help you stay hard longer your dose is weaker then mine but i am way older example with trimix i inject 38 units with alprostadil i inject 54 units . When you say a caverjet 10 is too strong what is happening? Unlike trimix when you use caverjet they control the amount you inject with trimix you will control

Edex comes in 10s, 20s and 40s. You're using the 10s so no worries.

Yes, the combination of drugs seems to have a synergistic effect. I'm using about 15 units of a mono-mix of 80mcg per ml of alprostadil so my actual alprostadil if kinda close to yours.

Well I tried above with the synergistic thing. Also, a fair percentage of guys get varying degrees of ache or pain with alprostadil. Adding the other 2 drugs to the mix allows them to use less of the alprostadil thereby lessening the alprostadil ache/pain. However, there has been some studies that indicate alprostadil has less risk of scaring or fibrosis than the other 2 ingredients, so there's that. I feel lucky that I'm able to use straight alprostadil without too much of an ache/pain issue.
