To Shake Or Not To Shake?

Postby Steve_ED » Fri Aug 04, 2023 4:11 pm

Do you shake up your trimix before you draw it into the syringe? Does it matter one way or the other?
Still figuring out my Trimix dose and formula, which has now become Quadmix. The Quadmix is the same as my Trimix formula, but ads Atropine and now is 30MG/1 MG/20MCG/.1MCG/ML.

I do not shake my Trimix, but not a pre-meditated decision. I don't think shaking the vial would be discouraged.

Yes I shake it up. Does it matter? I have no idea.

My Trimix vial last for six months or more. I shake it to look for anything that is not clear and to check how much is left.
Last time I injected. At first, I drew air because I am due for a refill soon.
Age: 68. Struggled with ED/PE for years.
Used Viagra for 10+ years with mixed success.
In May 2022 started using Trimix with very good results.
Feb 2023 developed PD
2023 still in treatment for PD, and still using Trimix with very good results

I would have thought not to shake because that could trap air bubbles?

i always keep my vials frozen until i need to use. i warm it up in the hand and then shake and shake. might be a mental thing but the one time i didnt shake i remember it didnt last as long and from that point on, i shake and shake.
