With all the craze around “male enhancement,” it’s easy to understand why any man would be interested in being harder, better, faster, stronger. Unfortunately for most, the medically approved medications are only accessible (legally) through prescription. Prescriptions require diagnosis of an illness, so if you’re looking for casual use on date night – you may have gone to the wrong place. Over the counter drugs such as Black Ant, Rock Hard Weekend, Pandora and The Best promise all of the benefits – with none of the uncomfortable doctor visits.
Don’t Believe the Hype
Many brands advertise themselves as “natural” male enhancement, but do you really know what they contain? The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved medications such as Cialis (tadalafil) and Viagra (sildenafil) contain a set amount of each ingredient listed, including active and inactive ingredients. Many non-approved drugs claiming guaranteed results are often created in crude home/ warehouse laboratories; which may not follow the strict sanitary and medical guidelines as those approved by the FDA. Black Market vendors place most of their concern in profit, and not in health standards. Male enhancement pills are easily located on the internet, and promise fast and discreet shipping and ordering for the consumer. Customers are often duped into buying fake versions of the real products online, or watered-down alternatives with no proven effectiveness.
“Cheap is Never Usually Good”
An online search for “buy erectile dysfunction drugs” yields about 22 million websites that offer consumers “natural pills” with “no side effects.” If abnormal vision, headache and drop in blood pressure count as no side effects, then these may be the drugs consumers are looking for. The word “cheap” comes up in nearly all the searches, which should serve as a red flag for anyone looking to find an effective solution to their erectile issues. Pharmaceutical companies spend millions of dollars annually to ensure the safety and validity of the drugs being placed on the market. A $10 blister pack of cheap sex enhancement pills will probably never be subject to the same quality testing. Claims are often exaggerated in order to coerce desperate shoppers to buy the product. One site even claims that “one pill last 180 hours.” Many of the companies claiming these effects are difficult to reach if the consumer does not actually experience the desired results, and Sites often go missing after enough complaints are filed or refunds are requested.
“Beware of Seedy Online Vendors”
“On these sites, you can order medications like Cialis (tadalafil), Levitra and Staxyn (vardenafil), Stendra (avanafil), and Viagra (sildenafil) without a prescription. Or, you can get a “natural” herbal remedy that promises to give you the same results. Often these drugs cost far less than they would at your local pharmacy (WebMD 2013).” Cheap brand name drugs may be counterfeit, with unknown levels of key ingredients. Most consumers utilize the convenience of online shopping, as well as the ability to bypass the awkward questions the doctor may have to ask in regards to one’s erectile dysfunction. The FDA confirmed through lab testing that certain herbal male enhancement brands contain “undeclared drug ingredient(s)” that may cause adverse effects to the consumer. Despite websites claiming that the drugs have “no known side effects,” the Food and Drug Administration tested Black Ant pills and found three times the allowed dosage of Sildenafil. The main ingredient in many ED drugs such as Viagra, Sildenafil in large doses can cause a rapid and dangerous decrease in blood pressure.
“Go Natural. No, Really.”
Men who are experiencing problems gaining or keeping an erection may want to seriously consider seeing a physician. A licensed professional will be able to better diagnose and pinpoint the cause of the issue, which may be a much simpler problem than previously thought. Often, poor diet, low energy or a completely different condition can be the cause of erectile dysfunction. Other safe alternatives exist, that consumers can use without the dangerous side effects.
