Hello,

Thanks for writing to Health Care Magic, I am Dr Muhammd Ahmad, I have closely read your question and I understand your concerns, I will hereby guide you regarding your health related problem.


There is nothing wrong in using a herbal formula to increase libido but here i want to mention that it should pe taken from a very reputed maker.

Some "herbal formulas" contain steroids and hormones etc which have bad side effects. So if its a prodcut kf some reputed pharmacy u can use it.

Here i also want to mention that its effect can not be guaranteed it may be of help and it may not be.but in my opnion using a good herbal formula shouldnt cause a problem or bad side effects or interact with your current medication.



I hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask,otherwise close the discussion and rate it.

Brief Answer:
they have number of side effects.

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for writing back,

yes some preparations which increase libido secretly have androgens or testosterone that on one hand is good on other hand it can cause problems like hormonal imbalance...undesired wirght changes..hair fall...prostat issues (when you akready have got TURP then prostat issues are lesser compared to a normal person with BPH) ...androgens can cause diabetes heart issues etc ...athletes do use them but hnder medical super vision and right quantities...


So if some "herbal" preparation has androgen or steroid in it ..it would go unsupervised and you wont know the secret qauntity of hormone in it so i said you can use a preparation but always use something produced by a reputed herbal medicine house so that there is no chance of impurities.

Best regards.
