Avatar n tn L-Arginine and L-Citrulline are quite effective in restoring sexual ability in a certain universe of patients, specifically those with diabetic neuropathy. You need to take at least 2-3 grams of L-Arginine for an effect. Purchase it in quantitities at health food stores.
Avatar m tn Thus, I need to address my erection problems while still being able to take Propecia. I read that L-Arginine could help with my erectile problems and that it works similar to Viagra. Thus, I began taking L-Arginine, 1500 mg. twice a day. It has helped but it has not solved the problem. I went to my doctor and he gave me a prescription for Viagra, 50 mg. My question is this: Is it safe to occasionally take Viagra if I also take L-Arginine?

Avatar m tn Please do more web searches and DO NOT use Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra. I also have RP and ED. I bought L-arginine/Orinithine but am wary about using until I read that it's ok. Blood flow changes seem to be very bad to already bad retinal cells.
Avatar n tn , however the year is 2014, and knowledge regarding L-Arginine (a vasodilator, that increases the interior diameter of the blood vessels, increasing body capacitance) and the safety thereof has been common knowledge for the last fifty years. That being said I think it would always be a good idea to ask your doctor about everything in your life.
Avatar f tn But since I think you probably want to remain anonymous or are posting for someone else, if it started after you began your other meds you need to pin down which one triggered it and switch to an alternative for it. If it was there before, you can try saw palmetto, l-canatine, or l-arginine. Also check your Vitamin D and Magnesium levels. You'll have to experiment with how much of any of them to take but most are beleived to have no interactions.
Avatar m tn I take a multi vitamin as well as L-Arginine, Zinc and Saw Palmetto. I was wondering if anyone has any concrete evidence that the L-Arginine especially has any negative effects on my condition (causes/exacerbates) breakouts etc. I also currently use vitamin E liquid topically and have been trying to live as healthy a life style as possible. I like taking the L-arginine for the muscle building properties but I am willing to stop taking it if it makes my HPV worse.
1703392 tn?1307450500 I found an interesting article regarding taking taurine and l-arginine (amino acid) supplements for eliminating PVCs.

712042 tn?1254569209 I am nitro dependent 24/7 ( best etiology for me involves NO and endothelial because the nitro really helps). I also have variant vasopastic angina for which I take Cardizem.Profuse spasm of LAD caught on cath leading to arrest. My only complaint with sleep the past 14 months has been waking up with 'hot flashes'. I am tired, but no daytime sleepy complaints as the angina rules!
Avatar f tn However, another doctor told me I should not take it because I have an autoimmune disease (Sjogren) and L-Arginine would aggravate my condition. I am not sure whom should I follow. Have anyone aware of any research related to L-Arginine and auto immune problem? Many thanks!
Avatar f tn Maybe he could take some supplements like L-arginine and start working out. That should rev him up a bit. But it could just be lack of sleep.
Avatar m tn I would suggest L-arginine, pumpkin seed supplement, and exercise. If you smoke, that's the cause. It is ruining your vascular system.
Avatar f tn I have a question from the opposite angle.. I had been told l- arginine would be of help releasing nitric oxide in the blood to help with male erection/orgasm ..however, that arginine shouldn't be taken by those with hsv1/2 because it can provoke an outbreak. Can you debunk this ? I would love to take arginine if it can help at all !
Avatar f tn Erectile dysfunction in a 50 year old man is complex. There may be some performance anxiety and some vascular narrowing. He needs also to be checked out for diabetes though this has probably already been done. If he contacts me I may be able to help. Testosterone therapy, behavioral therapy and if necessary Alprostadil injection are all ways forwards. One way or the other, and this is worth remembering, ALL erectile dysfunction is manageable.
Avatar m tn Haha, no that's not much potassium. A banana has a lot more than that. :-) My doc put me on propranolol "as needed" at first, and I rarely took it. I'm on 25mg Metroprolol ER now and it definitely reduced my resting heartrate to something in the low 50's. It did not stop my PVCs but rather just made them less forceful so I felt them less. Low dosage beta blockers (I'm guessing your propranolol is low dosage as well) are pretty safe.
