Where can I buy small quantity chemicals(NOT necessarily Pharmaceuticals nor food nor high purity medical grade) in Phnom Penh. In particular need Phentolamine mesylate. An outlet near the st 51 tourist area, golden sorya mall would be best if i had a choice but otherwise anywhere in the city

Descriptions

Phentolamine given by injection causes blood vessels to expand, thereby increasing blood flow. When injected into the penis (intracavernosal), it increases blood flow to the penis, which results in an erection.

This medicine should not be used as a sexual aid by men who do not have erectile dysfunction. If the medicine is not used properly, permanent damage to the penis and loss of the ability to have erections could result.

Phentolamine may also be used to reverse the effects of an anesthetic medicine in soft tissues, such as the lips and tongue. It may be used to help quickly restore normal sensation and function in patients who have received local dental anesthesia .

Phentolamine is available only with your doctor's prescription.

Once a medicine has been approved for marketing for a certain use, experience may show that it is also useful for other medical problems. Although this use is not included in product labeling, phentolamine is used in certain patients with the following medical conditions:

Low doses of a three-drug combination of phentolamine, papaverine, and alprostadil as an injection may be used to treat erectile dysfunction.

This product is available in the following dosage forms:

Solution
Injectable
Powder for Solution

So, is Trimix available at Pharmacie De La Gare that you know of? They don't appear to have a website and I'm in Australia at the moment so I'm unable to pop in and ask, but would you know roughly how much it costs? Much appreciated. :)

The primary application for phentolamine is for the control of hypertensive emergencies, most notably due to pheochromocytoma.It is also used to produce erection when injected into the penis when PDE5 Inhibitor tablets such as Viagra ,Cialis and Levitra have failed.

"Also it also has usefulness in the treatment of cocaine-induced cardiovascular complications, where one would generally avoid Beta-blockers (e.g. metoprolol), as they can cause unopposed alpha-adrenergic mediated coronary vasoconstriction, worsening myocardial ischemia and hypertension. It is important to note that phentolamine is not a first-line agent for this indication. Phentolamine should only be given to patients who do not fully respond to benzodiazepines, nitroglycerin, and calcium channel blockers."

Of course all the above relates to medical use which requires "medical grade" pharmaceuticals and as picooie notes La Gare Pharmacy is a good start for Tri Mex. Why you require non medical grade phentolamine is non of my business but I assume you are intelligent enough not to use it as "medication" Just sayin :)
