About Trimix
Trimix is a compounded injectable used for erectile dysfunction, often when oral ED medications have not worked or cannot be used. It combines three medicines — alprostadil, papaverine, and phentolamine — and is available only through a licensed compounding pharmacy by prescription. Compare pharmacy prices for free.
Why trimix is compounded
There is no FDA-approved fixed-combination trimix product. Single-ingredient alprostadil is sold as approved products, but the three-drug combination is prepared only by licensed 503A compounding pharmacies from a valid prescription. Trimix combines alprostadil (prostaglandin E1), papaverine, and phentolamine.
Because it is compounded, the prescriber and pharmacy can set the ratio and concentration to match the dose a patient is titrated to.
Trimix, bimix, and custom concentrations
Pharmacies prepare trimix in a range of concentrations, and some patients are prescribed bimix (a two-drug version) depending on tolerance and response. The vial size, total units per vial, and concentration all come from the prescription.
Trimix is typically supplied as a refrigerated multi-dose vial; ask each pharmacy about storage, included syringes, and how the concentration is labeled.
What affects the price
Quotes vary with the concentration and drug ratio, the vial size and quantity, ingredient sourcing, sterile-compounding requirements, cold-pack shipping, and each pharmacy's workflow. Comparing several licensed pharmacies is the most reliable way to see your real cost.
Prescriber supervision and safety
Trimix is prescription-only and is dosed individually — prescribers usually start low and titrate, and many require an in-office test dose and injection training before a patient self-injects. The most important safety point is priapism: an erection lasting more than four hours is a medical emergency that needs prompt care. Discuss dosing, technique, and what to do about a prolonged erection with your prescriber.
Key Questions Before You Request Quotes
Can I get Trimix compounded?
Possibly. A licensed prescriber has to decide whether Trimix is appropriate, and a licensed compounding pharmacy has to confirm it can legally prepare the requested strength, form, and quantity.
Is a prescription needed?
Yes. Patient-specific 503A compounding is based on a valid prescription order or prescriber notation for an identified patient.
What affects price?
Strength, dosage form, quantity, ingredient sourcing, sterile versus non-sterile preparation, shipping requirements, and each pharmacy's workflow can all change the final quote.
How fast can I get quotes?
For routable requests, Compounding Finder typically returns quote options by email within 1-2 business days after you submit the request details.

Source notes: FDA explains that compounded drugs are not FDA-approved finished products and describes 503A compounding around patient-specific prescriptions. See Compounding and the FDA and Section 503A.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a prescription for trimix?
Yes. Trimix is prescription-only and is dispensed by a licensed compounding pharmacy. You can compare quotes first, but a valid prescription and, in most cases, prescriber-directed dose titration are required before use.
What's the difference between trimix and bimix?
Trimix combines three medicines (alprostadil, papaverine, and phentolamine); bimix uses two. Your prescriber chooses the combination and concentration based on your response and tolerance.
Why isn't trimix sold at a regular pharmacy?
There is no FDA-approved fixed-combination trimix product, so it is available only as a compounded preparation from a licensed pharmacy by prescription.
