Reuters:
“Herbal” Viagra and other so-called natural alternatives for treating impotence advertised on the Internet and in men’s magazines are often contaminated with real drugs and could kill those who take them, researchers said on Monday.
“These are being marketed as being safe and natural products,” said Dr. Neil Fleshner of Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto, Canada. “It is plausible that deaths have occurred or could occur.”
Like we needed studies to tell us this? Bottom line – stick to FDA-approved medications: Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis. Every other non-prescription option does not have consensus data supporting its safety or efficacy.
