Here is information about Erosyn copied from the Web site promoting it:

"Eroxil for men and Erosyn for women have been specifically developed with patented and naturally based compounds that are both plant and animal derived. Why is this important? It allows these innovative products to copy exactly the natural molecules produced by the human body. The production of testosterone (the primary sexual hormone for both men and women) starts in the hypothalamus and pituitary of the brain which send out important chemicals to stimulate the natural production of hormones that are in turn perfectly balanced in a feedback loop to the very brain that initiated the hormone production.

Bio-identical nutrients or phytonutrients reestablish normal sexual function for both men and women with the added bonus of increased sperm production for men who suffer from problems of infertility."


As you can see, it claims that these products affect hormone production, so be sure to share this information when you discuss it with your oncologist.

It also refers to "bio-identical nutrients...that reestablish normal sexual function," so please read the FDA's position on bio-identical hormones in the thread I cited above.

I read their ad all the way to the bottom. This is a list of ingredients they wish to share.

INGREDIENTS: The primary active ingredients in these Nokomis products are amines found in such plant foods as oats, cucumbers and radishes. Amines are essential elements for cellular and tissue growth and regeneration.

I would absolutely not take anything that my Dr has not recommended first. That said, if you think that oats, cucumbers and radishes will help your sexlife since they contain amines those are all healthy foods you can add to your diet instead of taking a pill with who knows what in it. Amazing.. they wouldn't give ingredients. Look up Amines on the internet and read....

You should not take ANY medications without clearing them with your oncologist.

Meanwhile here is a previous thread dealing with the drug's side effects interfering with sex:
