Side Effects of Yohimbe - Pharmacists Reveal the Common Ones

by Tom

This natural remedy is commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction. However, there are known side effects of yohimbe.

The active ingredient found in yohimbe is yohimbine which is available as a prescription medication in USA and Canada. There is typically about 6% of yohimbine found in yohimbe bark.

Side effects from taking yohimbe may include dizziness, fast heart rate, insomnia, tremor, anxiety, irritability, sweating, nervousness and stomach complaints.

Higher doses, of course, would increase the side effects. However, experts believe that the dosage used to treat erectile dysfunction does not usually cause very much side effects.

Of course, if you suffer from high blood pressure, heart disease, take prescription antidepressants, have kidney or liver disease or have other mental disorder, always consult a healthcare professional before taking yohimbe.

Always start with the lower dose first and gradually increase as needed. This will help to reduce the side effects that you might experience.

See Yohimbe to get full information on yohimbe including recommended dosage, side effects and scientific research evidence.
