Trimix Storage & Duration:Complete Guide to Proper Handling
Learn how to properly store your Trimix medication, understand shelf life, and know what to expect from treatment duration.
How to Properly Store Trimix
Proper storage is crucial for maintaining Trimix potency and ensuring safe, effective treatment. As a compounded medication containing multiple active ingredients, Trimix requires careful temperature control.
The primary storage requirement is refrigeration at 36-46°F (2-8°C). Store your vial in the main body of the refrigerator, not in the door where temperature fluctuations are common.
Important: Keep Trimix in its original container, away from light, and always check for signs of degradation before each use.

Trimix Storage Options
Depending on your usage frequency and needs, there are several ways to properly store your Trimix medication.
Refrigerated Storage
Store in the main body of your refrigerator at 36-46°F (2-8°C). Avoid the door shelves where temperature fluctuates. Properly stored, Trimix remains effective for 30-90 days.
Frozen Storage
For extended storage, Trimix can be frozen at 0°F (-18°C) or below for up to 6-12 months. Once thawed in the refrigerator, use within 30 days and never refreeze.
Travel Storage
When traveling, use an insulated cooler bag with ice packs. Keep medication between 36-46°F and protect from direct contact with ice. Carry documentation for security.
Signs of Degraded Trimix
Before each use, inspect your Trimix solution. Do not use if you notice: cloudiness, discoloration (should be clear), particles or crystals floating in the solution, or any unusual odor. Contact your pharmacy for a replacement if any of these signs are present.
How Long Does Trimix Last?
The duration of a Trimix-induced erection typically ranges from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the dosage and individual response. Most patients experience optimal results within this timeframe.
Finding your ideal dose is key to achieving consistent, satisfactory results. Your physician will help you determine the optimal starting dose during your titration appointment.

Important Safety Information: Priapism
If your erection lasts longer than 4 hours (priapism), this is a medical emergency. Seek immediate medical attention at an emergency room. Untreated priapism can cause permanent damage to the penis.
Starting with a lower dose and gradually increasing under medical supervision helps prevent this rare but serious complication.
