FDA Warning: France T253, Stree Overlord, AfricanBlackAnt

FDA US has issued warning against three products for the treatment of sexual dysfunction in women and erectile dysfunction in men. The three products are France T253, Stree Overloard and African Black Ant.

Both France T253 and Stree Overlord contains sildenafil citrate, said FDA in warning. African Black Ant contains Tadalafil, according to FDA. Sildenafil Citrate is main chemical compound used in Viagra and Tadalafil is used in Cialis. Any medicine that contains Sildenafil or Tadalafil is called generic Viagra and generic Cialis respectively. So, France T253 and Stree Overlord are nothing but Viagra.

A websites that promote and sell African Black Ant listed various ingredients except Sildenafil Citrate. Listed ingredients of black ant are caterpillar fungus, saffron, deer penis, lotus, fur seal penis, tibetan yak testis and hippocampus. The promoter of so called "sexual enhancement" did not deliberately mentioned Tadalafil and/or Sildenafil.

Marketing website of Stree Overlord misguided consumers using false story of Japanese figher Stree.

France T253 promoters tried to capitalised desperation of impotence patients by claiming their product not only boost sexual abilities but also has significant effect on kidney, heart, reversing age, blood. But, a cross investigation by FDA found that it is nothing but sildenafil citrate drug.

People are recommended not to use these products anymore. People who have used these three products are advised to go through side effects of Sildenafil and Tadalafil drug to avoid any health problem.

Patients who are taking nitrate drug as a part of treatment of hypertension or high blood pressure, diabetes, heart diseases must not use those products.
Does France T253 work? Does Stree Overlord Work? Does African Black Ant work? These three products just work like generic Viagra and Cialis.

Sexual Dysfunction Likely in Women after Dialysis, says Studies

Dialysis for the treatment of renal impairment (kidney failure) in female may affect their sexual life, say experts. Recent research study found 4 of 5 female on dialysis had sexual dysfunction.

Dialysis has several side effects such as depression drugs, sleep disorder, pain and tiredness. Sexual dysfunction is latest side effect added in the list. Like chemotherapy, dialysis also affects one's quality of living.

However, how exactly dialysis cause sexual dysfunction is subject of further and dedicated study.

Lot of studies has been done on sexual health of men post hemodialysis. Ironically, few handful studies are there for females.

Dr Giovanni Strippoli and experts from Collaborative Depression and Sexual Dysfunction in Hemodialysis Working Group conducted study on 659 females who were on dialysis. Dr Strippoli inspected answers given by those women in a question paper. Questions were on changes they noticed in their sexual life post dialysis. Dr Strippoli is MD from Diaverum AB and Consorzio Mario Negri Sud, Italy.

Some participated women were sexually active, some were not and some had no partner for sexual activities. Sexual dysfunction was reported in 84% of all females, 55% of sexually active and none for women without partner.

The study is believed to be first of its kind at large scale which is focused to study sexual dysfunction in women after dialysis.

Further analysis found that likelihood of sexual dysfunction is more for old women, depressive women, women who passed menopause phase, diabetic women and women who took diuretic pills.
