Compounding Pharmacist

[Frank Talk Admin]

guys,
A friend of mine is a pharmacist. He owns his own shop. We were talking about Tri-mix, bi-mix etc. He has offered to buy the equipment to make these for ED guys.
He is a really good, compassionate guy. No, he won't make a fortune doing this, but is willing to help the cause.

Would you, or do you think other guys would, buy your injectables from a FrankTalk sponsored/approved pharmacist? Would this increase your confidence? I don't know, and I'm sure he doesn't know either, the exact cost, but it would be reasonable.

Do I urge him to go ahead?

I think that might an interesting option. When I was using injections, I just went with who my urologist suggested because I didn't know of anywhere else to get it.
But the cost was more painful than the injection. At $150 a bottle, plus $35 bucks in overnight shipping, I felt I was getting ripped off.
I think a lot of insurances don't pay for it, mine certainly didn't, so to be able to look at different reliable options would be a good thing.

I agree with Greg. It would be nice to have options. If I decide to stay on caverject I would want to talk to him about him doing a generic.

I would be interested in hearing more about such an opportunity, especially if this pharmacist qualifies for insurance coverage. I am using Trilogy Heath Care's pharmacy in St. Louis (http://www.trilogyhc.com/). My insurance uses Express Scripts to manage the pharmaceutical part of my coverage. Express Scripts allowed the scrip. The $150ish prescription cost me out-of-pocket $25.00.

I get my bi-mix w/o prescription for 10.00 cc. That's $50.00 for a 5cc (500 unit) bottle. You're pharmacist only needs a scale, syringe filter, chemicals and bottles...what equipment? I get about 45 doses from a 50cc syringe bottle....thats about $1.10 per shot + a syringe.
