Well i could use edex 20 but took the 40 so 8 shots a month is possible

On the bright side, at least you are not paying 150 to 250 for your juice! Personally, I don't think the price they charge for non-veterans should be so damn high. If they can make a profit by what they charge us vets, then I think the price should be what we pay plus maybe 10%.

flyingduck2019,
I called last week to request a refill of my Tri-Mix, and the Pharmacy called a couple days later to let me know my Tri-Mix was ready for pick-up,
The Pharmacist wanted to inform me that one of the ingredients to make the Tri-Mix is no longer going to be available, and that the replacement is not covered by Tri-Care, or for that matter, no one's insurance. I asked if she had any idea of what my "Out of Pocket" cost would be, she let me know that it would probably be in the $140.00 range.
Wondering how a drug or ingredient gets on the Approved by Tri-Care list?
I can do the increase in price, I would rather not. Last injection was 80 Units, No Joy, next try/dose, will be 1cc.

Matt---The first thing I would do I talk with your URO and see if there is a different mix that will work for you and if the pharmacy can mix it. Reading over this forum on injections there are guys with different mixes of Trimix. You might also ask your URO about Bimx or Quadmix. Maybe there is one that will give you the results you want and keep the cost down.
My last RX of Trimix went up a few dollars. I got 10ml for $36 plus $10 for overnight shipping.

Good luck and let me know how it turns out.
