Muse

Postby john100 » Wed Jul 20, 2011 3:24 am

Does anyone know where I can get muse for a cheaper price?

I currently pay $319 for a 6 pack.

Thx.

John,

Yeah I have heard that MUSE is heart-stoppingly expensive if you have no insurance coverage for it.
Your price about right tho.

I get mine thru MEDCO, and i noticed that it costs insurance around $895 for three 6-packs. Lucky for me my co-pay was only $80 for that.

If you are paying without insurance and you are not yet ready to try needle shots of any kind then I would suggest you try Trimix-Gel instead -- that is only $150 for a sixpack and pretty easy to use and no refrigeration needed. And it works about the same as MUSE -- but without hardly any aches you might get with MUSE -- although it is essentially the same ingredient (PGE-1) with a smattering of Phentolamine and Papaverine so they can call it Trimix. If you were using MUSE 1000mcg you should get Trimix-Gel 1500mcg version -- it is about the equivalent in its effect I think. I've used both in the past.

One thing I do with MUSE to get it in a little easier .. coat the injector with a little AstroGlide and the rock it back and forth a little as you slowly insert it -- to prevent Stiction. Good luck with it ...

so putting astroglide on the muse is ok? The astroglide can go into your urethra? Also, my doctor said the muse insertion can minimally
go half an inch in then u can release it?

First try to have a pee immediately before trying insertion,this does give a smother ride.

Stand or sit making sure the penis is absolutely straight (no bends or kinks) - place your thumb on top of the glans and your forefinger under the glans and squeeze very gently until you see the urethra open then slowly introduce the MUSE. Believe me the penis is quite capable of taking items far fatter than a MUSE. I'm thinking cathaters here.

Hope this helps you. Kind regards Cotham.

Cotham,

I think you co-mangled a couple of quotes -- some from me -- some from John ...

I am very interested in the ease of using gel that you mention . But I am confused,if you have "used it in the past" what are you using now that is better?

Yes if MUSE is working for you now, then Tri-Mix Gel will probably work about the same, although I would recommend the highest dose they have which is 1500mcg PGE-1. And it is only available via faxed prescription and then mail order requests whenever you want it during the length of your prescription. But it is only $150 for a six pack -- which is way less than MUSE retail for a 6-pack.

I have since moved on to Trimix shots instead -- so instead of 25 dollars a sploosh for the gel it is only a Dollar a shot for Trimix .. nice.

But I still get the MUSE each month anyways and then dilute it for nightly rehabbing -- real nice to have some hardness every night of the month not just on the needle nights.
