Drug Name

Yohimbe-1200

Drug Uses

Proscar prevents the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body. DHT is involved in the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Proscar is used to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men with an enlarged prostate.

Proscar may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.

How to use

Take Yohimbine-1200 exactly as directed. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you. Take each dose with a full glass of water. Yohimbine is usually taken three times a day. Follow your doctor's instructions.

Drug Class and Mechanism

Yohimbine-1200, an alkaloid, is the primary active ingredient of yohimbe. Research shows it is a vasodilator, which means that it increases blood flow to the extremities and appendages. In other words, it can also increase the sex drive (libido) in men and in women. In addition (as if that wasn't enough), yohimbe has also been shown to help maintain healthy arteries. Not only does Yohimbine-1200 help men with sexual performance, and increase libido but yohimbe also has been shown to decrease fat synthesis in the body by increasing fatty acid mobilization.

Missed Dose

Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the dose you missed and take only your next regularly scheduled dose. Do not take a double dose of this medication.

Store Yohimbe-1200 at room temperature, between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C). Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Keep Yohimbe-1200 out of the reach of children and away from pets.
