Could Forskolin Cause Ejaculation Problems?

Increases blood flow and free testosterone levels
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in.
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Forskolin is a chemical found in the roots of the plant Plectranthus barbatus (Coleus forskohlii). It is a vasodilator and improves blood flow across various organs. Other than treating obesity, it can be used for heart diseases, asthma and respiratory diseases, bowel cancer and urinary tract infection.
It can help achieve proper erections in those with abnormal blood flow to the penis. You need to first get evaluated to know if the lack of erections is due to altered blood flow in the penis. If this is not the problem then it is less likely that you will achieve stronger erection with this medication.
There are reports that in a human study the Forskolin treated group increased mean free testosterone levels by up to 40%. This can cause increase in sex drive but can take weeks or months and not every one will get similar benefits.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Vivek
