Message: | Yohimbine HCl (Extract)
Indications and Uses
Yohimbine hydrochloride is indicated as a sympathicolytic and mydriatic. It may have activity as an aphrodisiac.
Impotence (not able to have erections)
The way yohimbine works is not known for sure. It is thought, however, to work by increasing the body's production of certain chemicals that help produce erections. It does not work in all men who are impotent.
New research that shows it could be an herb with very effective antioxidant potential. Research shows it is a vasodilator, which means that it increases blood flow to the extremities and appendages.
Safety Concerns
Patients sensitive to rauwolfia alkaloids such as deserpidine, rauwolfia serpentina, or reserpine may also be sensitive to yohimbine.
