low sex drive
what over the counter med is best for low sex drive and erectile disfunction
CyberDoc
Dear Aces
Low sex drive and erectile dysfunction can often be caused by conditions like diabetes, hypertension, testosterone shortage, so I would advise that you first get a proper medical examination to exclude treatable causes. If everything is physically fine, you can take ginko biloba.
Ginko may affect blood clotting, so it shouldn't be used by people with bleeding disorders. People with epilepsy (or anyone with a history of seizures) should also avoid it because it may increase the frequency of seizures. It may affect blood sugar levels, so people with diabetes should only use it under the supervision of a health care provider.
