Warning sounded on herbal erectile dysfunction products

Some "herbal remedies" for erectile dysfunction that go by names such as Clyamax, Love Fuel and Sexual Surge could pose a big risk to your health, officials say.

Health Canada is issuing warnings and warning Canadians not to use a number of products that claim to help men who suffer from erectile dysfunction, saying possible side effects of taking the drugs include heart attacks, strokes, chest pain, high blood pressure, abnormal heart beat, headache, facial flushing, indigestion, dizziness, abnormal vision and hearing loss.

Two of the products, STRO Emperor Capsules and 2H and 2D, contain tadalafil, are touted as being traditional Chinese medicinal treatments, but they contain a prescription drug used to treat erectile dysfunction.

Health Canada issued the warning about STRO Emperor Capsules after the Irish Medicines Board warned consumers in Ireland not to buy the product. The Hong Kong Department of Health issued a similar warning about 2H and 2D. Health Canada also issued a warning about a number of dietary supplements used for sexual enhancement made by Atlas Operations Inc. of Pompano Beach, Fla., after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration discovered the supplements contain undeclared sulfoaildenafil, an unauthorized substance similar to sildenafil. Sildenafil is also a prescription drug used to treat erectile dysfunction.

The names of some of these products included: Amour for him, Clyamax, Depth Charge, Love Fuel, Red Hot Sex, Sexual Surge, Stamin It and Whatzup.

  3. You can try the natural route. 3-6 grams of L-Arginine, enteric coated garlic extract, (both aid blood flow)cut saturated fat intake and exercise. Since ED is an indicator of CAD what's good for your heart is good for your...well you know.
