Canadians Warned About Unsafe Erectile Dysfunction Aids.<\/figcaption><\/figure> Health Canada is warning its citizens about unsafe products being marketed to men with erectile dysfunction.<\/p>\n

Dangerous products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many of the products contain ingredients that can be dangerous, especially if taken by men who are already taking medications for heart conditions. <\/p>\n

For example, Ginseng Red 2000 and Rhino 7 Platinum 5800 \u201csexual enhancement\u201d products were found to contain sildenafil.<\/p>\n

Sildenafil is an erectile dysfunction drug sold under the brand name Viagra. It should not be used by men who take nitrates because it can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure, which can be life-threatening. <\/p>\n

In, addition, men with heart problems who take sildenafil increase their risk of stroke, heart attack, abnormal heartbeat and other problems. Because consumers may not realize these products contain sildenafil, they are unknowingly risking their health.<\/p>\n

Sildenafil can also cause side effects such as a headache, abnormal vision, hearing loss, flushing, and indigestion.<\/p>\n

Because these unauthorized products haven\u2019t been approved by Health Canada, they haven\u2019t been assessed for quality, effectiveness or safety.<\/p>\n

Stick with the real stuff<\/strong><\/p>\n

Viagra should only be used under the supervision of a doctor, who can provide you with a prescription to ensure that the erectile dysfunction drugs you take are pure, effective and safe because they are FDA approved.<\/p>\n

In addition, getting a prescription for an erectile dysfunction drug like Viagra through your doctor gives you the opportunity to be checked for other underlying conditions. After all, erectile dysfunction is sometimes a warning that you have other health issues, such as diabetes or heart conditions.<\/p>\n

Be sure to discuss any current medications you\u2019re taking, including supplements, and share any current medical conditions or concerns you have. Viagra shouldn\u2019t be taken if you\u2019re already taking nitrates, alpha-blockers, Amlodipine, Ritonavir or other CYP3A4 inhibitors. The main concern is that combining Viagra with some of these medications can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
