Wait...what?...$40.00 per injection?!?!?!? Dang...they get you anyway they can. Without saying it directly, you infer that Trimix may not be reimbursed by insurance or Medicare??? Please...anyone/everyone...please offer how you pay for your Trimix. Wouldn't it be just like insurance companies and Medicare to "deny" coverage for something that is a direct result of what they paid for with our prostatectomy surgery? Unreal. Thank you.

Now I'm saying it outright Medicare definitely does not pay for Trimix, at least they didn't mine. I read it is seldom covered under any insurance. If it continued to be effective it I'd pay for it.
When they reformulated my Trimix the price dropped to $35.00 still outrageous for an erection we should get naturally.

@rlpostrp I purchased my 5ml (500 units) of Trimix from Northern Pharmacy in Baltimore (800-268-4301). It was mixed 2/25/26 and I just got I think my last dose on 6/19/26. Last dose worked fine. I was using about 15 units per injection about 2 times a week.-so like 30 injections. I paid $125, I believe. It was about $90 and $35 to ship (it came in a big insulated box). For me, that works out to about $4.10 an injection. My Dr advised me that insurance generally doesn’t cover and I did not try.

@rlpostrp $40 doesn’t sound right shop around

@rlpostrp I seem to remember hearing (back when I started Trimix many years ago) that compounding pharmacies aren't the same as regular pharmacies, and so insurance companies won't cover what they produce.

@rlpostrp
When I was using Trimix it was $140 for 5cc. So, if in the above example the man is using 35 units he can get about 14-15 injections per vial. That comes to around $10 per dose/injection.
