Trimix Injection

Introduction to Trimix Injection

Trimix Injection is a prescription medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in men who do not respond adequately to oral ED medications like sildenafil or tadalafil. It is an intracavernosal injection, meaning it is administered directly into the penis, offering a fast and reliable erection suitable for sexual activity.

The medication typically works within 5 to 15 minutes after injection, and its effects can last from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the individual and the dose. It is often used in cases of ED caused by diabetes, spinal injuries, vascular disease, or post-surgical complications.

Trimix Injection is compounded in specialty pharmacies and should be used exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Because it is a potent formulation, proper training on how to administer the injection and manage any potential side effects is essential for safe and effective use.

Trimix injection is manufactured by Empower Pharmacy. Empower stands at the forefront of healthcare innovation, dedicated to making quality, affordable medication accessible for all.

Uses of Trimix Injection

Here are some key uses of Trimix injection, including papaverine:

• Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
• Neurogenic Impotence
• Vascular Impotence
• Psychogenic Impotence

How Does Trimix Injection Works?

Trimix Injection works by combining three vasodilators—Alprostadil, Papaverine, and Phentolamine—which together cause the blood vessels in the penis to relax and widen. This results in increased blood flow to the erectile tissue (corpus cavernosum), producing a firm erection that is sufficient for sexual activity.

Each ingredient plays a unique role: Alprostadil directly stimulates blood flow, Papaverine relaxes smooth muscle, and Phentolamine blocks receptors that normally restrict blood flow. By injecting Trimix directly into the penis, the medication bypasses the digestive system, leading to fast-acting and localized results.

Most men experience an erection within 5 to 15 minutes after administration. Because of its effectiveness in difficult cases—such as post-prostate surgery or diabetes-related ED—Trimix is often chosen when oral medications fail to deliver the desired results.

Side Effects of Trimix Injection

• Mild Pain or Discomfort at Injection Site
• Redness or Bruising
• Erections Lasting Over 4 Hours (Priapism)
• Penile Scarring or Fibrosis
• Penile Curvature (Peyronie’s Disease)
• Headache
• Dizziness

Drug Interactions

Trimix Injection, while effective for erectile dysfunction, can interact with certain medications, potentially leading to harmful effects or reduced effectiveness. It is important to inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, and herbal products you are taking before using Trimix. Key drug interactions include:

• Blood Pressure Medications
• Anticoagulants (Blood Thinners)
• Other Erectile Dysfunction Treatments
• Nitrates or Nitric Oxide Donors
• Alcohol and Recreational Drugs

Dosage of Trimix Injection

The dosage of Trimix Injection is individualized and must be carefully determined by a healthcare provider based on the patient’s condition, response, and tolerance. Treatment typically begins with a low starting dose, usually between 0.05 mL to 0.2 mL, which can be adjusted as needed to achieve a satisfactory erection without causing side effects like priapism.

The injection is administered into the side of the penis (corpus cavernosum) using a very fine needle, approximately 5 to 15 minutes before sexual activity. It should not be used more than once in 24 hours or more than 3 times per week.

Warnings & Precautions

1. Use Only Under Medical Supervision

• Trimix Injection should always be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare provider. Improper dosing or technique can lead to serious complications such as priapism or permanent damage to penile tissue.

2. Not for Certain Medical Conditions

• Trimix should be avoided or used with extreme caution in individuals with bleeding disorders, sickle cell anemia, penile implants, anatomical deformation of the penis, or severe heart disease.

3. Injection Technique Matters

• Improper injection technique may result in bleeding, bruising, or infection. Patients must be trained on the correct way to inject, including site rotation to avoid tissue scarring.

4. Allergic Reactions

• Inform your doctor if you have known allergies to Alprostadil, Papaverine, Phentolamine, or any other injectable medication. Signs of an allergic reaction include swelling, rash, itching, or difficulty breathing.

5. Limit Frequency of Use

• Do not use Trimix more than once in 24 hours or three times per week unless directed by your doctor. Overuse increases the risk of severe side effects.

Storage

• Store Trimix Injection in a refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Proper refrigeration is essential to maintain the effectiveness and stability of the medication.
• Trimix, as freezing can degrade its ingredients and render it unusable.
• Keep the vial or syringe away from direct sunlight and UV exposure. Store it in its original packaging or a light-resistant container.
• Check the expiration date and follow your pharmacist’s instructions on how long the vial or pre-filled syringe remains safe to use after opening or compounding.
• Store Trimix safely and out of reach of children or pets to avoid accidental exposure or injection.
