Sexual function cardiovascular drug effects

Sedation is uncommon and instead many patients will find that these drugs may impair sleep, which is why the dose is best taken in the morning. There is also little effect on psychomotor function. Occasional patients have a small reduction in heart rate but otherwise effects on the cardiovascular system are rare. Epileptic convulsions can occur but are rare and much less common than with tricyclic antidepressants. There is some evidence for potentiation of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)-induced seizures. Sexual dysfunction is reported, principally delayed ejaculation and anorgasmia. 

Two preparations of Cordyceps, called Jinshuibao and Jinshukang are produced by Jiangxi Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. The Jinshuibao capsule Cordyceps have equal effects as the Cordyceps sinensis drug. It is used for the treatment of chronic bronchitis, sexual dysfunction, hyperlipemia, menstrual disorder, pains in the loins and abdomen, leucorrhea, senile weakness, cardiovascular diseases, liver cirrhosis, and in supplementary tumor treatment. In 56 cases with cancer, Jinshuikang capsule significantly improved the immune functions and raised the quality of life of the patients [35]. As shown in Table 8, the immune and humoral cell functions are markedly increased after treatment [36].
