What is Trimix Injection?
Trimix is an injectable medicine used to treat erectile dysfunction by improving blood flow. 3 active ingredients of Trimix are Papaverine, Phentolamine, and Prostaglandin E1, which increase blood flow to the penis and provide a firm erection. It is usually used as an alternative or second-line medication to PDE-5 inhibitors to treat erectile dysfunction.

Who Needs Trimix Injection?
Trimix Injection is one of the treatment methods for erectile dysfunction. It is only prescribed to men who are not able to get an erection despite using PDE5 inhibitors for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. However, doctors do not prescribe Trimix injection directly as a treatment method for ED. They First go with the medicine and suggest PDE5 inhibitor medicine to the patients and check their results. If the doctor finds out that PDE-5 Inhibitor medicine is not working on patients, then they prefer Trimix for ED treatment.
How Does Trimix Injection Work?
Trimix Injection contains three medicines from complementary classes designed to act synergic ally, mixed into a sterile injection.
Papaverine:
- A medicine that causes blood vessels to expand (vasodilator).
- It produces an erection by allowing for increased blood flow to the penis.
- Experimental data, performed in-vitro, displays papaverine acting to relax the penile arteries, the cavernosal sinusoids, and the penile veins.
Phentolamine:
- When injected into the penis, it induces an erection by relaxing and dilating the blood vessels of the penis, as well as by elevating cardiac output.
- Side effects of phentolamine are rare.
Prostaglandin E1
- A potent hormone-like substance that induces erection by relaxing the penis’s blood vessels and dilating cavernoma arteries-dilation of the cavernosal arteries.
- It is accompanied by increased arterial inflow velocity and increased venous outflow resistance allowing for more blood into the penis and less blood out.
How & When to Use Trimix Injections:
