Reviewed by [CLINICIAN, MD]
Most men trying to fix ED are choosing between a 25-year-old single compound, an overpriced subscription for the same molecule, or supplements that contain nothing at all. We compared the five routes men actually take — on onset, duration, what they treat, and what they cost.
THE VERDICT
VAST by RIVO Health is our #1 for 2026 — the only option covering onset, duration and desire in one prescribed dose, at half the monthly cost of single-compound telehealth.

#2 · GRADE B-
Trimix injections
6.9
Let's be fair to it: Trimix works, and it often works when oral treatment has stopped. A compounded mix of three drugs, injected directly into the penis. If nothing else has worked, a urologist will usually offer this next — and for a lot of men it genuinely delivers.
The problem isn't whether it works. It's everything around it.
Often effective when pills have stopped working
Fast onset, doesn't depend on digestion
WHAT THE NEEDLE ACTUALLY COSTS YOU
An injection into the penis, every single time
Kills spontaneity — you're drawing up a syringe mid-moment
In-person dose titration with a urologist before you start
Needs refrigeration — travel is genuinely awkward
Bruising, and scar tissue at the site with repeated use
Priapism risk — an erection that won't subside is an ER visit
Still blood flow only — nothing for desire
Which is why so many men who are prescribed it quietly stop. The treatment that works on paper is the one you have to be willing to do, in the moment, every time. [ADD DISCONTINUATION STAT IF YOU HAVE A CITABLE SOURCE]

#3 · GRADE B-
Single-compound telehealth
6.8
Convenient, legitimate, and the ads are everywhere. But you're paying [$X–$X] a month for one generic molecule — usually the same sildenafil or tadalafil as option #3, marked up for the branding — and none of them touch desire.
Easy online process, real prescriptions
One compound, one mechanism — blood flow only
Premium price for a generic molecule
#4 · GRADE C
Generic sildenafil pills
5.9
The cheapest legitimate route, and it works — until it doesn't. An hour's wait, food interactions, tolerance build, and nothing for the mental side. Fine as a first try; it's what most of our readers are trying to move on from.
Cheap and proven
30–60 minute wait, food interactions
Same dose does less over time
#5 — "Natural" OTC supplements
AVOID
Grade F. No clinical oversight, doses that don't match labels, and the FDA regularly finds them spiked with unlisted prescription drugs — the most dangerous possible way to take the compound you could just be prescribed properly.
#6 — Gas-station pills
AVOID
Grade F. Unregulated, unlabelled, and frequently counterfeit. If it worked, it's because it contained an undeclared prescription drug at an unknown dose. Do not.

Common questions
Why four compounds instead of one?
Lower individual doses, and coverage of onset, duration and desire at once — instead of one molecule at a dose that keeps climbing.
I've been offered Trimix. Should I take it?
That's a conversation for you and your urologist — it's an effective treatment. But it's worth knowing an oral 4-compound option exists before you commit to injecting, because most men who stop Trimix stop because of the needle, not the results.
Do I need to see a doctor?
No appointment. A two-minute online questionnaire is reviewed by a licensed clinician who decides whether it's appropriate.
Is it safe to combine them?
That's exactly why it's prescription-only: the questionnaire screens for conditions and medications that rule it out, and a clinician makes the call.
What does it cost?
$114/month if prescribed — consultation and shipping included.
Question 1 of [8]
Which sounds most like you?
It takes too long to kick in
It stopped working like it used to
It works — but the desire isn't there
