HERBS: There is no such animal as herbal viagra (sildenafil). One is a synthesized compound and the other is a plant. Use what works best for you and carefully research the side effect profile and the warnings on the labels.

I agree with Dr. Bennett. Also beware discount Viagra or Cialis offered over the internet Many are fake and some have been reported to contain poisonous chemicals.
