Herbal
viagra is a name that can be given to any herbal product advertised as treating
erectile dysfunction.The name "herbal viagra" is taken from the brand
name Viagra, under which drug company Pfizer sells sildenafil citrate, a drug
that is used to treat erectile dysfunction.Viagra has become a generic term for
many people discussing drugs designed to treat erectile disfunction.
There are
many different products advertised as herbal viagra, but with varying
ingredients. The most popular herbs are epimedium (horny goat weed), damiana,
ginseng, ginkgo, yohimbe, saw palmetto, maca, Muira puama, and Tribulus
terrestris. Herbal viagras, contrary to what the name suggests, do not normally
contain sildenafil citrate. The United States Food and Drug Administration has
warned consumers that any sexual enhancement product that claims to work as
well as prescription products is likely to contain such a contaminant.
Herbal
viagras often carry a number of dangerous side effects. Primarily, they cause
abnormally low blood pressure and can restrict blood flow to vital organs. Herbal
viagra is predominantly sold through the internet, and in 2003, around 4% or 1
in 25 of all e-mail messages sent offered herbal viagra, genuine pharmaceuticals
and other herbal remedies.
