Potency Drugs: Effect, Uses & Risks

Potency drugs have been common since ancient times. If the male potency decreased, one helped oneself for many centuries with (allegedly) the potency increasing food and aphrodisiacs, which were made from root extracts and herbs. Nowadays, modern potency enhancers are known to make use of Spanish pepper, certain amino acids or synthetic influencers. The most modern sexual enhancers are the so-called PDE-5 inhibitors. They revolutionized the sexual enhancers offered to date. The most famous synthetic sexual enhancer of this class is probably Viagra.

What are sexual enhancers?

The term “sexual enhancers” is used to describe all measures that serve to increase potency. The definition of a sexual enhancer does not specify what kind of sexual enhancer it is. The term “sexual enhancer” is used to describe all measures that serve to increase potency. They can be mechanical sexual enhancers – for example, externally applied or implanted penis pumps -, herbal or natural sexual enhancers, homeopathic or pharmaceutical sexual enhancers and ointments. Regardless of their classification as sexual enhancers, the individual preparations can be attributed different modes and intensities of action. Some of the products claiming to be sexual enhancers are based more on miracle beliefs. A distinction must be made between aphrodisiacs and sexual enhancers. Whether one can increase the potency with food is controversial. As genuine potency means one can probably not call food.

Medical application, effect and use

The medical application and effect of sexual enhancers varies. However, it is usually based on the fact that the body is supplied with certain substances that are intended to increase blood flow in the pelvic region. The most direct way to apply a sexual enhancer would be to coat the penis with a blood circulation-enhancing cream. However, this is not chosen for good reasons, because the sexual partner would also face effects from this sexual enhancer. The penis pump is a mechanical sexual enhancer for men, which stimulates blood flow in the penis by means of a vacuum pump. Less direct are all the sexual enhancers that are taken orally. Nutritional measures that are considered to be sexual enhancers are more likely to be considered aphrodisiacs. However, Spanish pepper or amino acids such as arginine can be used to achieve demonstrable improvements in potency. Applications of orally ingestible sexual enhancers from the modern PDE-5 inhibitor class act via a synthetic ingredient that greatly increases blood flow in the pelvic cavity for a period of time.

Herbal, natural and pharmaceutical sexual enhancers.

Nowadays, you can find quite different intake forms and types of sexual enhancers. Most of the preparations, which are made of natural ingredients such as herbal extracts, spices that promote blood circulation and amino acids. Their effect as a sexual enhancer occurs only after a certain period of intake. Such sexual enhancers usually take effect only after a transition period of six weeks. Therefore, the most effective sexual enhancers today are usually the prescription synthetic preparations called PDE-5 inhibitors. In addition to Viagra, these are Levitra, Cialis or the starting substances for them: sildenafil, tadalafil and vardenafil. The highly effective phosphodiesterase-5 sexual enhancers inhibit a certain enzyme. They also dilate the blood vessels. Originally, such sexual enhancers were designed as a drug for angina symptoms. The prescription potency drugs of this class sometimes have severe side effects. They are also used under other preparation names for angina pectoris. However, the above ingredients have become famous as the most effective sexual enhancer in medical history. On the other hand, these sexual enhancers often have contraindications for certain diseases. Either one must then switch to mechanical sexual enhancers, which can only be used directly before sexual intercourse, or combine mechanical sexual enhancers with natural, naturopathic or homeopathic sexual enhancers.

Risks and side effects

On the subject of risks and side effects, it should be said that most homeopathic, natural and naturopathic sexual enhancers have few side effects. Arginine-based sexual enhancers can promote acute herpes outbreaks in chronic recurrent herpes due to an excess of arginine.Some preparations remain completely ineffective in affected patients, so they also have no side effects. The PDE-5 inhibitors, on the other hand, sometimes have severe side effects and several contraindications. This has been taken into account in the successor preparations to Viagra. These sexual enhancers have been somewhat weakened in their effect and are more tolerable. Nevertheless, a medical examination is advisable before taking synthetic sexual enhancers of the PDE5 class. Deaths have occurred after overdose of synthetic sexual enhancers or failure to treat underlying diseases.
