Is Vazomyne Safe?

Vazomyne is an herbal supplement marketed as an effective promoter of prolonged erections. While the makers of Vazoyme say the supplement is safe because it "contains no stimulants," some of the herbs used to make the product do have dangers associated with them.

  1. Ingredients

    • The ingredients of Vazomyne include l-arginine, saw palmetto, ginkgo biloba, damiana leaf, polygonum multiflorum, nettle leaf and muira puama, according to the supplement's official website.

    Types of Side Effects

    • L-arginine, saw palmetto and ginkgo biloba have the potential to cause gastrointestinal side effects such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and contipation. Saw palmetto and ginkgo biloba also cause dizziness and headaches in some people.

    Drug Interactions

    • When combined with blood thinners like warfarin or heparin, saw palmetto and ginkgo biloba both increase your risk of uncontrollable bleeding following an injury, surgery or dental work, warns RxList. Damiana leaves have the potential to cause hypoglycemia when taken with oral diabetes medications such as metformin, while l-arginine causes dizziness and lightheadedness when taken with nitrate medications for your heart such as nitroglycerine.

    Risks

    • Saw palmetto has the potential to cause inflammation of your liver or pancreas, while polygonum multiflorum has been known to cause liver damage, warns RxList. In some patients, damiana use results in convulsions.

    Considerations

    • Due to the potential side effects of the ingredients found in Vazomyne, it may not be safe for you to use the supplement if you have a history of asthma, cirrhosis, epilepsy or other seizure disorders, herpes, low blood pressure or a recent heart attack, cautions RxList. Additionally, Vazomyne may cause excessive bleeding if taken within two weeks of a surgical procedure due to the l-arginine and saw pametto it contains.
