CycaPharwomen can be taken in 30-day cycles, or as advised by your healthcare provider.

Due to the presence of guarana extract, which is a natural energizing ingredient, CycaPharwomen may cause sleep disturbances if taken close to bedtime. It is therefore recommended to take it earlier in the day to avoid this issue.

No, this supplement does not interact with any medications or medical conditions. In fact, due to the presence of maca extract, CycaPharwomen can significantly help women who experience reduced sexual desire as a result of taking antidepressants.

Yes. In addition to consulting your psychiatrist about adjusting the dose or changing the medication, you can use sexual health supplements with your doctor’s approval.

In general, combining multiple supplements is safe only if there is no drug or physiological interaction between their ingredients.
The combination of maca and ginseng is usually safe and is used in some commercial formulations. However, combining several products that all increase blood pressure, nervous system stimulation, or alertness can be dangerous.
As a rule, never use more than two supplements at the same time without consulting your doctor or pharmacist.

In general, if low libido or sexual dysfunction is caused by an underlying clinical condition, that condition must be treated first. Supplements can then be used to support lifestyle improvement, provide essential nutrients, and have a synergistic effect alongside medical treatment.

Since supplements are ideally taken under medical supervision and it’s important to ensure your overall health, it is recommended to have a general check-up before starting a course.
Your doctor may request specific laboratory tests as needed, and then decide whether supplementation is appropriate.

Although epimedium (horny goat weed extract) is a mild phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor and not as strong as sildenafil, due to its similar mechanism of action it is recommended not to use it in individuals with heart diseases who are taking nitrate-containing medications.
However, ginseng and tribulus do not have contraindications for these patients.

It is believed that combined oral contraceptives may reduce sexual desire by lowering the level of free testosterone in the blood. This issue can be managed by adjusting the type or dosage of the pill, changing the method of contraception, temporarily discontinuing the pill for evaluation, or using supplements.
However, low libido is not always caused by medication—emotional, social, and relationship factors also play a significant role. It is recommended to consult with a physician and a family counselor.

Yes. Some supplements have an indirect effect by regulating serotonin levels and reducing psychological stress.
Ingredients such as maca, ginseng, and saffron can improve mood. In women with mild anxiety or depression, these compounds may increase sexual desire by reducing performance-related anxiety.

No. These supplements should not be used by children due to the lack of clinical necessity, unproven safety, and the risk of disrupting hormonal regulatory systems and normal growth.
They are also not recommended for teenagers, as brain and nervous system development is still ongoing, and the long-term effects of hormones or certain herbal compounds are unknown.

Yes, some sexual health supplements may influence weight or appetite. However, these changes are usually mild and temporary, and are more closely related to the person’s diet and level of physical activity.

In general, if blood pressure is well controlled and the patient is not taking nitrates or similar medications, most herbal supplements are considered safe.

The refractory period is the time after ejaculation during which a man cannot achieve another erection. The length of this period is influenced by factors such as age, hormone levels, cardiovascular health, and neurological factors.
Some supplements—such as L-arginine, maca, ginseng, epimedium, and tribulus—may indirectly help shorten this period, but due to limited studies, the evidence remains insufficient.

As mentioned earlier, each tablet or capsule is formulated to provide an adequate amount of active ingredients and slightly less than the daily required amount of minerals. Since some nutrients—especially fat-soluble vitamins—can accumulate in the body and reach dangerous or toxic levels, taking more than the recommended dose is not helpful and can in fact be harmful.

Yes. Most herbal supplements such as maca, ginseng, saffron, and tribulus primarily have gradual and indirect effects on libido. However, in plant-based ingredients that enhance blood flow, improvements in orgasm, arousal, and overall satisfaction can also be observed.
That said, psychological factors still play the primary role.

If the medical condition is well controlled and the patient is under regular supervision by their doctor, supplements containing maca, tribulus, saffron, and antioxidants are generally safer options.
Epimedium and high doses of ginseng are not recommended because they may cause heart palpitations.
L-arginine is also not advised, as it can lower blood pressure and may not be suitable for these individuals.

No. Sexual health supplements are not recommended at all during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless directly prescribed by a physician, because there is not enough evidence to confirm the safety of herbal ingredients during these periods.

Yes. Since the liver and kidneys are the primary organs responsible for metabolizing and eliminating medications and herbal compounds, some supplements are restricted or contraindicated in these conditions.
For individuals with liver problems:

Kava extract should be avoided due to multiple reports of liver toxicity.

High-dose ginseng (especially doses commonly recommended by herbal shops) can elevate liver enzymes.

Unlicensed or unknown supplements may be dangerous and significantly increase liver markers.

For individuals with kidney problems:

High-dose L-arginine can significantly alter blood pressure and kidney clearance.

Supplements containing high levels of magnesium or potassium, or testosterone-based products, should be avoided.

Relatively safer options for people with liver or kidney issues (only with medical approval and regular monitoring):

Maca

Saffron

Tribulus

Antioxidants such as Vitamin E (with supervised monitoring), CoQ10, and Vitamin C

To assess treatment response, several approaches can be used:
1. Self-reported measures:
These are the most common tools used in clinical studies. The individual (or their partner) reports changes in desire, arousal, satisfaction, or symptoms.
2. Objective measures:
Used more often in men, especially for evaluating erectile function or physiological performance indicators.
3. Combined measures:
Most studies use a combination of both subjective (self-reported) and objective criteria to detect the real effect of a supplement or medication.
Timing of evaluation:
The assessment should be done at least 4 to 6 weeks after starting the supplement, as the effects are gradual.
It is essential to compare changes with baseline (before starting treatment).
It is also recommended to record lifestyle changes, other medications, and stress levels, as these factors influence treatment response.

The effects of herbal ingredients work by aligning with the body’s own regulatory and balancing mechanisms, so they are generally much more gradual than chemical medications.
However, this does not mean the improvements are insignificant—changes can still be noticeable and meaningful over time.

Adaptogenic ingredients such as maca help regulate the body by modulating neurotransmitters and supporting the restoration of the body’s natural hormonal balance.
However, products that contain actual hormones directly interfere with the body’s hormonal systems and therefore must be used strictly under the supervision and direct prescription of a physician.

Some stimulating ingredients—such as ginseng, energizing herbal extracts, or yohimbine—can activate the sympathetic nervous system, increasing energy and alertness, which may lead to insomnia or reduced sleep quality.
Additionally, certain hormone-acting supplements that raise testosterone levels (such as oral testosterone products) can increase energy and cause nighttime wakefulness.
Using some supplements together with antidepressants such as sertraline or fluoxetine, or with caffeine, may also intensify their insomnia-related effects.

Yes, but with special caution. Combining supplements with fat-burning drugs may intensify cardiovascular, metabolic, or nervous system effects. These may include increased blood pressure and heart rate, sleep disturbances, heightened anxiety, and metabolic or digestive interactions.
Safest combinations:
• Maca
• Saffron
• Tribulus
• Antioxidants
Use with caution:
• Ginseng
• Epimedium
• Any other stimulant

The dosage and choice of ingredients for individuals over 60 must be adjusted due to age-related physiological changes.
Changes in liver and kidney function, increased sensitivity to cardiovascular and nervous system effects, reduced muscle mass, hormonal changes, and the presence of underlying medical conditions all influence ingredient selection and dosing.
Safe options for this age group include:
• Maca and tribulus at low doses
• Saffron at standard doses
• Avoiding ginseng and epimedium, or using them only at very low doses with continuous monitoring
• L-arginine at a low dose with careful blood pressure monitoring
If the patient remains stable during medical monitoring, the dose can be increased slowly and gradually—but only under the direct supervision of the treating physician.

No — many of them have real biological mechanisms.
L-Arginine: A precursor of nitric oxide that causes blood vessels to dilate, increasing blood flow to the penis.
Ginseng: Improves blood flow, reduces oxidative stress, and affects the hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal (stress) axis.
Epimedium: A mild PDE-5 inhibitor that increases blood flow and tissue sensitivity.
Tribulus: Has potential effects on testosterone, androgen receptors, and neurotrophic activity.
Maca: Has adaptogenic and physiological effects on energy levels and the central nervous system.

Yes. If a product is unlicensed, it may contain contaminants such as hidden hormonal substances, chemical drugs, heavy metals, microbial or fungal toxins, additives, or allergens.
How to check for authenticity and safety?
• Choose reputable sources: Buy only from pharmacies or stores licensed by the Ministry of Health, and avoid purchasing from unknown or unverified online sellers.
• Check labels and authorization: Verify the health license number, product registration code, and the full list of ingredients on the packaging.

Yes, in most cases it is reversible. After stopping a supplement, libido usually returns to your baseline level (the level you had before starting it). A temporary drop in desire is normal and not a permanent issue.
Supplements that affect blood flow usually return to baseline within a few days to a few weeks.
Hormonal or testosterone-boosting supplements may take several weeks to several months to fully return to normal, and sometimes hormone monitoring is needed.
Overall, the decrease in libido after stopping supplements is temporary and reversible, and recovery time depends on the type of supplement and its mechanism.
