Hi all, new to the forum, I'm going to begin injecting trimix awaiting for delivery. I've been reading all the posts, one thing that is confusing me is when it is mention that you are injecting a unit, what does unit mean. My urologist informed me to begin with .45 and increase as necessary. Hope some one can clear this up.

Well its really very simple. Most guys use a BD 1cc syringe which is 100 units. Units are the small numbers on the syringe. So, if you draw up trimix to the line that says 45 (.45), you got 45 UNITS, not 45 cc's.

Thanks that is what I thought. Got confused thinking it was 45cc.

45 units is a high initial dose though. most say to start with 20units.

Just received my trimix, from Talon, my 10ml vial says refrigerate and it will expire on 9/30/2017, just wondering, most on here freeze theirs, should I or just refrigerate as the instructions says. My formula is Papav 22.5/Phen0.83/PGE-1 8.33

You may find it convenient to fill a couple of syringes and keep them in the fridge, not the freezer.

But by all means, keep the vial in the freezer. You can find dozens of posts on this site from guys who say freezing makes a huge difference in preserving the potency of the med.

I've always refrigerated but my last order came with instructions to freeze. So I put it in the freezer and it literally froze solid. Is it supposed to do that?

I'm a little confused about units vs. cc. Someone wrote:

If 1cc=100 units, doesn't .45cc=45 units? i.e. the reading on the syringe is in fact cc as well as units (maybe x100?)? I'm sure I'm missing something.

A typical 1cc syringe is 100 units. It is clearly marked in the syringe 10 =10 units, 50 = 50 units as so on. If you need 45 Units draw to 45!
Yes it is supposed to freeze solid, when you need a dose thaw it, draw the dose and refreeze vial.

yes you are correct. units is another way to convert decimal CCs. 1cc-100un, .50cc = 50un, .45cc=45un, etc
