Brief Answer:
Viagra is effective for erectile dysfunction

Detailed Answer:

Dear XXXXXXX
Hi & Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concern regarding the safety of Viagra if taken along with Musli Powder Extra.
Viagra (Sildenafil citrate) is recommended for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in males.
Musli Powder Extra is a herbal (Ayurvedic) medication claimed to improve the sexual performance and boost energy. However, its efficacy and safety have not been proved in clinical trials hence it is not recommended by FDA to treat erectile problems.
Now, I would like to ask you a few questions like
1. Why do you want to take these medications since you do not seem to have any erectile problems?
2. Are you married?
3. Do you get the satisfactory penile erection that is necessary for a sexual act?
4. How long the erection lasts?
Awaiting your reply so as to analyze your history properly to give a suggestion.
Best regards.

Dear Dr.

Thanks for your reply.

So I hope I should not take Musli Power Extra right.?I just started having it before a week and I would have consumed around 15 tabs till now.I could not see any result out of it.Would you suggest I stop this.? since it has not been recommended by FDA.

1.Why do you want to take these medications since you do not seem to have any erectile problems?
Yes.As such I didn't face any erectile problem.But I feel the erection is not as long as how it was before.,and hence I would like to go for it.

2. Are you married? YES for the last 11 years and having 2 kids.We both enjoy sex as and when we get time.,usually everyday.

3. Do you get the satisfactory penile erection that is necessary for a sexual act? YES

4. How long the erection lasts?
I didn't have Sex for the last few weeks.As I am on a Fasting now and it will get over only by end of this month.But I can see now the erection time is less compared to the previous times.

Since I am away from home now,I can have sex only once/twice in a week during weekends.Hence I would like to make it big and would like to try Viagra once.

Please reply.

Warm Regards
Rohit
Doctor - Just for your information I usually drink though I have stopped it for the past 4 weeks due to fasting.But I smoke daily 10 cigrates for the past 20yrs. If at all you recommend me to have viagra I would like to know which is the premium quality that I can take also would like to know whether we will get this in any medical shops.I am from Cochin.Thank you.

Brief Answer:
There is no need to take Musli Powder Extra.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for your reply and the compliments.
As pointed out earlier, Musli Powder Extra is not found to be effective hence you need not have to continue to take it.
The medication Sildenafil is available in various brands like Viagra, Penegra or Androz over the counter (in pharmacies). All are equally effective in the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
But remember, its use may cause a fall in BP, nasal stuffiness, vision changes (like blurring of the vision or altered color perception) and persistent painful erection in some cases.
Further, I suggest you to quit alcohol and smoking as they may also cause erection related problems in males.
Hope the suggestions given above would be useful to you.
Best regards.
