Tri-Mix Therapy for Erectile Dysfunction

What is tri-mix?

(alprostadil, phentolamine, and papaverine for intracavernosal)

Tri-Mix is an injectable drug for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. It is a mixture consisting of three drugs: alprostadil, phentolamine, and papaverine. Tri-Mix is injected directly into the corpus cavernosum of the penis and is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for erectile dysfunction.

Who is a candidate for Tri-Mix therapy?

Patients who have:

• Failed therapy with phosphodiesterase inhibitors (sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil)
• Failed therapy with alprostadil monotherapy or Bi-Mix (papaverine + phentolamine), or those who have discontinued therapy due to excessive penile pain.

Who should NOT use Tri-Mix therapy?

Patients who have:

• Penile structural abnormality such as penile angulation, cavernosal fibrosis, or Peyronie's disease
• Penile implants
• A hyperviscosity syndrome such as sickle-cell disease, polycythemia, leukemia, or multiple myeloma
• Complete atrioventricular block

TRI-MIX INGREDIENTS:

ALPROSTADIL

Mechanism of action: Alprostadil is a prostaglandin E1 which increases intracellular cyclic AMP, resulting in relaxation of the muscle of the corpus cavernosum and trabecular smooth muscle. It also dilates cavernosal arteries and their branches.

PHENTOLAMINE

Mechanism of action: Phentolamine blocks alpha-adrenergic receptors in penile blood vessels, which causes relaxation of the trabecular cavernous smooth muscles and dilation of the penile arteries.

PAPAVERINE

Mechanism of action: Papaverine inhibits phosphodiesterase in smooth muscle cells, which increases cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP levels and in turn causes relaxation of vascular smooth muscle.

DOSING

Therapy with Tri-Mix should be initiated under prescriber supervision in order to assess patient injection technique and responsiveness. Therapy should begin at the lowest dose and be titrated upward to the lowest effective dose to avoid adverse reactions such as penile pain and fibrosis.
