How Does Trimix Work to Deliver Stronger, Longer-Lasting Erections?

If you’re finding it hard to get or stay hard, you’re not alone. Around half of men over the age of 50 deal with at least some level of erectile dysfunction, or ED. While oral drugs are now available to help, such as Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis, they aren’t effective for about 40% of the men who try these medications or cause such severe side effects that they can’t be tolerated. If you’re wondering why you’ve been hearing more and more about another option—Trimix—it’s because it works for 96-98% of guys. But how does Trimix work, and is Trimix right for you? Keep reading to explore what you need to know.

How Does Trimix Improve Blood Flow for Men with ED?

If you’re wondering how Trimix works, it’s helpful to understand the way it’s administered and why this erectile dysfunction treatment option is so effective for men of all ages. You’ve probably heard by now that it’s an injection to the penis (and no, it doesn’t hurt as much as you might imagine while the head of the penis has many, many nerve receptors, the skin on the shaft isn’t as sensitive and is more like the skin on your elbow, so it’s not as scary as you might think).

Trimix isn’t a single medication. Instead, as its name implies, it’s a combination of three substances tailored to your exact needs and created by compound pharmacies for each individual patient. Most often, Trimix contains the active ingredients alprostadil, phentolamine, and papaverine, which are mixed in a customized ratio and dosage based on your personal needs and physical response to these medications. 

But what makes this option different from popping an ED pill? Those oral medications work throughout the entire body, relaxing blood vessel walls to increase blood flow, and that helps some men more easily get an erection. PT-141, an injection option that may also address problems of sexual arousal in men, works by increasing sexual desire within the nervous system, but that might not address the potential blood flow problems that could be the leading cause of ED.

However, Trimix takes a much more direct and targeted approach to the problem, with its compound of three active ingredients injected directly into the side of the penis and working locally to relax smooth muscle tissue while dilating arteries, which is why it is so effective at producing an erection and boosting blood flow to the desired area. 

The difference between an oral medication like Viagra and the injection Trimix is all about targeting. Instead of trying just to boost blood flow everywhere and hope it translates to an erection, Trimix only works locally on the specific parts of the penis that fill with blood during an erection to make the magic happen without the side effects or inconsistency of oral medications.

How Fast Does Trimix Work After Injection?

Now that you understand how does Trimix work, you probably have a more urgent question: How fast does it work? Oral medications can take a long time (an hour or more) to really kick in. As you already know, they are effective for about 60% of men, but that means 40% of guys are popping pills and hoping for help that they’ll probably never really get, leading to disappointment and confusion about why it’s not working. 

Considering that an estimated 50% of men ages 40-70 have some level of erectile dysfunction, as well as years of research that, for the vast majority of guys, ED is caused by physical problems related to blood flow to the penis rather than a psychological problem that leaves a lot of men unsatisfied.

Trimix, on the other hand, doesn’t play this waiting game. Because it’s injected right into the area you want to see results in—your penis—it takes only 5 to 10 minutes to get an erection. It’s a quick process all the way around, including in how you administer this treatment:

  • Get ready by collecting all your supplies: The vial of Trimix, a syringe, and alcohol wipes.

  • Clean up: Wash your hands thoroughly, then use alcohol wipes to disinfect the vial stopper and injection site.

  • Prepare the medication: Pull the syringe plunger back to the correct dosage as prescribed for your needs, then remove air bubbles.

  • Injection time: Pull your penis out to stretch the shaft, and inject your dosage of Trimix as instructed by your doctor.

How Long Do Trimix Erections Usually Last?

You know by now that Trimix is fast-acting, taking only a few minutes to get to work and create a strong, long-lasting erection right when you need it, but how long will this erection last? The answer is it depends on your dosage and the specific plan your doctor came up with just for you.

For many men, the goal is to have a strong, effective erection for about half an hour, or up to an hour or two. The specific duration of effect is going to vary from person to person, which is why it’s so important to closely follow the instructions from your doctor to ensure you get the benefits you need and want while avoiding potential problems that can happen from an overdose. 

In addition, most men are told to only use Trimix up to three times per week, waiting at least 24 hours between injections, to get the results they want without putting themselves at risk of injury or any potential problems.

Is Trimix Safe to Use for Men Who Have Sex with Men?

So, how does Trimix work? By relaxing muscles and increasing blood flow right where you need it—your penis—to deliver a nearly instant erection and the sexual satisfaction you deserve. Still, it’s understandable to have some concerns about an injection into your penis, and you might be wondering if it’s safe to use and even if it’s safe to use as a gay man.

The good news is that all the research shows Trimix is indeed a safe and highly effective treatment for all men who suffer from erectile dysfunction, regardless of who they’re into or what types of sexual activity they’re planning for. The only real risk is the same for any man, no matter their sexual orientation or preferences:

  • Taking the wrong dose can lead to problems, which is why it’s crucial to follow your doctor’s instructions exactly as prescribed.

  • Like all ED treatments, including Viagra and Cialis, you need to watch for the danger of priapism, which is an erection lasting for more than four hours. This isn’t just a phrase you hear on commercials: It’s a medical emergency that needs immediate attention to prevent permanent damage to your penis. This most often happens from improper use of medications or using too high a dose.

  • Like Viagra and Cialis, Trimix can help give you an erection, but it won’t protect you from sexually transmitted infections, which is why you still need to follow safe sex practices.
