Question 5

dose taking pentoxifylline 400 mg 2 times per day and l arginine 1000 mg 2 times per day and cialis 5 mg one time per day is a wrong combination and can causes priapism because of high increase of nitric oxide ? or this combination is safe ?

Accepted Answer

: Priapism is a rare side effect of cialis. I am not sure you use L arginine for erectile dysfunction or for peripheral vascular insufficiency along with pentoxifylline. In theory, because L arginine can increase the blood flow to the penis so it can strengthen the effect of cialis or exacerbate the side effect. However, there is no reported interaction of these three medications that I can find.

Question 6

l-citrulline is converted to l- arginine in the body and l-arginine has been known to cause herpes outbreaks in people who have the virus. should l-citrulline be avoided by people who have hsv-1?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, if you want to lower arginine level you have to avoid citrulline supplement. High arginine/lysine may exacerbate herpes outbreak; however, taking lysine supplement is not strongly recommended. Adult can produce arginine but not lysine which is an essential amino acid and we have to get it from foods. In general, avoid a diet high in citrulline and arginine may lower the HSV outbreak.

Question 7

which of the following may cause sleepiness? 150 mg niacin as nicotinic acid, 4000 ui vit d, 1g of l-citruline and l-arginine each, 1 g shiitake extract, 350 mg magnesium malate daily. thanks!

Accepted Answer

Side effects: I did not see sedation listed as side effects for L-citruline, L-agrinine, Shiitake extract or magnesium malate.  Niacin hydrobromide can lead to sedaction.

Question 8

will l-arginine help me get a strong erection n make me la s t longer n be more excited. thanks?

Accepted Answer

Maybe not...: To assess if one's erections have weakened, he should visit a primary doctor, who can check for possible causes: stress, depression, diabetes, high blood pressure, low testosterone, artery disease, high cholesterol, smoking, older age, etc... Causes found can be treated to help make erections stronger, firmer, longer lasting. A urologist can evaluate. Meds like viagra, cialis, or Levitra (vardenafil) may help.

Question 9

can teenagers take l arginine?

Accepted Answer

Wouldn't recommend: Protein supplementation is not the greatest idea in teens. It really is much better for them to get their nutrition through food intake. These supplements are not well regulated and one can never be sure you are taking what they say. Also, protein supplements are stressful to developing kidneys. If you teen is wrestler ,body builder it is best to get the protein with meats, eggs, dairy, nuts.
