Stamina RX is a sex-enhancing medication available to men and women without a prescription. It may help with maintaining a stronger, longer erection for men, as well as increasing a decreased libido in both sexes and multiple orgasms for women. The drug's popularity may be due to Americans often equating these abilities with being young, desirable and virile. Stamina RX is a supplement that contains herbs and requires responsible, careful use. Consult with your doctor before trying it to make sure that it does not affect other medications you are taking or any medical conditions you may have.
History
Stamina Rx has a history of recalls by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as far back as 2003 and as recently as 2009. These recalls were imposed due to hidden or undeclared ingredients found in the pills. These dietary supplements contain strong herbal mixes and drugs that could have serious potential side effects. In 2010, the manufacturer of Stamina Rx, Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals, introduced a new formula and markets it under the name "Stamina Rx Hardcore." This new formula contains an herbal ingredient, extract of yohimbe, that needs to be used with caution and careful monitoring. You should not use this supplement if you have heart disease, history of stroke, anxiety, depression or seizures.
Directions
If you are healthy with no history of diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure or any other serious medical condition, you may consider using Stamina Rx at the lowest dose, which is one tablet, to see how the supplement affects you. If there are no negative reactions and you would like to take a stronger dose, you may take two tablets at once, but never take more than four pills in 24 hours. The manufacturer recommends taking Stamina Rx with a full 8 ounces of water, approximately 60 minutes before beginning any sexual activity.
Considerations
Be aware that you may experience abdominal cramping or nausea, so consider taking the supplements with food. When taking Stamina Rx, you should avoid alcohol, caffeine and tobacco use. Nicotine and caffeine often result in a rise of heart rate, as does the ingredient yohimbe extract. Do not use with any other stimulants, such as medications for attention deficit disorder.
Benefits
Among the benefits of better, longer erections, stronger orgasms and increased libido, Stamina Rx can also cause a strong sensation of warmth all through your body, which some consumers report as pleasant. This is due to increased blood circulation, which is known to improve erections. You could also experience increased perspiration. Stamina Rx may not help with premature ejaculation, so you should seek the advice of a urologist or other doctor to improve this symptom.
Warning
The FDA and Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals placed a new recall on Stamina RX in June 2009. According to Drugs.com, the FDA labs found an undeclared drug in the supplement called benzamidenafil. This drug is "not FDA-approved and poses a threat to consumers because benzamidenafil may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs, such as nitroglycerin, and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels."
If you have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, or hypertension, high cholesterol, heart disease or diabetes, you may be susceptible to dangerous adverse effects from Stamina RX. The FDA report warns that if you have any of the medical conditions described above and possess Stamina Rx, you should stop using it immediately.
