Hey guys,

I am just curious how Long Does Trimix Last Frozen? The pharmacy and urologist says theee months but they also said they are required to say that by law. I am going to buy some vials today and it’s $80 for one and $20 for each additional vial so I am curious how many I should buy without worrying about the medication not working?

Thank you!

Not sure exactly but I've froze it for 4 months before and it worked fine.

Where can I get this great deal? Please send the name of the compounding pharmacy. What size are the vials?

Even though I have been implanted, I still remember the days of injections:).
I decided, since the vials were coming every month, I decided to freeze them, some for over 2 years.
The only thing you have to look out for is when you defrost them, MAKE SURE THE SOLUTION IS STILL CLEAR!!! Nothing floating, no crystals....just clear solution. Once defrosted, put in fridge only for 2 months (but my dosage kept going up, so some of the vials did not last a month, lol).
Out of the 10 or 12 I froze, 1 had crystals in it. I let is sit for a couple hours, but there were crystals in it, I threw it out.
So yeah, you can freeze them.

How about unfrozen, kept in refrigerator. I’m on my first Trimix vial. I’m maybe 60 % done with vial. It seems like my past two times that the results have been poor. I’ve been at 30 units. If it’s let’s effective, maybe I should increase dose. I have ordered my second vial. What do you guys think.

Oh...side note, I had Bimix (minus the alprostadil). At the lowest dose, Trimix was too much. Dr. had me go to Bimix.
For refrigeration, 2/3 months.

I have noticed a fall off in potency at about the 1 year mark, keeping the vial frozen. However, I have read that thawing the vial to refill syringes and then refreezing it can effect the potency, but I don't think by much. In my experience freezing Trimix you should be fine for at least 6 months, if not longer to 9 months. As long as the Trimix is not cloudy or contain particles, it should be good to go.
