very confusing levels of strength

[Peter MI]

Exactly how strong is Trimix 150/5/50 compared to the rest of the formulas ?
I'm not having very good luck at 30 units. Should I be asking my doc for something stronger ?

Hi Peter.
I've attached a list of typical formulations sold by Olympia, maybe that helps for comparison.

Your numbers do seem a little confusing to me as relating to this chart. These are given in mg/ml for Papaverine and Phent, and mcg/ml for PGE (Alprostadil). Perhaps you are listing the amount in your whole vial (not sure), but if you can do some math and convert to mg/ml and mcg/ml you can compare to this chart. For example, if your numbers are for a 5ml vial then you have a (30-1-10) formulation (i.e. the T-105). Make sense?

I have full ED due to a prostatectomy, and I was started out with the T-106 (30-1-25) which I assume is sort of medium in strength and your formulation looks one notch below that in terms of Alprostadil. Not an expert here for sure. I've only recently began the injection journey myself.

You could try incrementally upping the dose by about 5 units at a time. Most importantly, before doing that, are you sure you're getting the injection into the Corpus Cavernosum? And you can certainly ask your prescriber for a stronger mix.

None of the above should be taken as sound medical advice, I'm just a brother in the battle. Best wishes!

thanks for the reply. I'm going to call Empower to inquire, since my urologist no longer available. His office wants me to make yet another visit to speak to someone new [ 125 mile round trip ]. I'm sure that I am injecting it correctly. If I were not , I would expect some sort of pain or bruising at the injection site. This is the last stop. I feel that this product was way mis-represented to me, and is so far a waste of time and money. Thanks again for your response.
