Low sex drive, premature ejaculation and inability to sustain an erection are not topics that men choose to discuss very often, even with their doctors. Not only are these subjects extremely personal, but to many men, a sign of their vitality and manhood. A popular over-the-counter, sex-enhancing supplement, Stamina RX, is targeted to help erectile dysfunction, or ED, duration of erection, low libido and overall satisfaction. Since this supplement contains potentially strong herbal ingredients, it is vital that you discuss its use with a health care provider before consuming.

History

A controversial history, clouded with two recalls in 2003 and 2009 by the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, has kept some potential Stamina Rx users concerned. These recalls occurred due to ingredients that could have had serious side effects. In February 2010, a new formula was introduced: Stamina RX Hardcore, which contains yohimbe extract, an herb that requires monitoring and caution.

Considerations

If you have any past or current medical conditions, it is important to consult your physician before taking any Stamina Rx product. This is crucial if you have taken or are currently taking prescription medication for heart disease, high blood pressure, seizures, diabetes, stroke, depression, anxiety, or any other mood disorder. Erectile dysfunction occurs often in men with these conditions, and underlying causes should be ruled out. The newer product, Stamina Rx Hardcore, contains yohimbe extract, which can induce headache, dizziness, sweating, visual disturbances, anxiety, flushing, rapid heart rate and a sudden drop in blood pressure.

Expert Insight

Many enthusiastic claims of success with Stamina Rx are available on the Internet. There is a large market for sex-enhancing supplements and reliable facts about their safety. Dr. Ray Sahelian, author of "Natural Sex Boosters," has written a favorable critique of yohimbe bark extract on his own website, including the effectiveness of this natural herb. He also discusses side effects, safety, risks and danger of misuse for yohimbe. It's important that you educate yourself regarding this ingredient before you purchase and take it.

Dosing

If, after careful consideration of all facts, you decide to try Stamina Rx, be sure to take it only as directed. Dosage is as follows: take one to two tablets with eight ounces of water, approximately one hour before sexual activity, never exceeding four tablets in a 24-hour period.
Nausea and stomach cramps/pain can occur with this medication, so take it with food, if necessary. You may not drink alcohol while taking Stamina Rx. Avoid smoking tobacco several hours before and after taking this supplement; nicotine can cause a considerable increase in heart rate, as does the Stamina Rx ingredient yohimbe.

Other Effects

A positive side effect could be a warming sensation that many users have described as pleasant. This warmth can occur in any part of your body, from head to toe. Excess perspiration has also been reported, especially in the armpits, so simply use extra underarm antiperspirant if desired.

Important

Stamina Rx does not treat premature ejaculation. Speak with your doctor regarding this.
Take only one half tablet the first time you try Stamina Rx to see how your body reacts to it.
If you experience an erection lasting longer than four hours, seek medical attention immediately.
Stamina Rx may be purchased online, in most health food stores and in many drugstores.

Warnings

Do not take Stamina RX with other ED medications such as Viagra or Cialis.
Do not take with caffeine or other stimulants, as this can raise your heart rate or cause palpitations and irregular cardiac rhythm.
