[QUOTE="Wolverine, post: 33131, member: 3254"] Ive noticed less of an affect of my LiqCia after taking HGW. I know it is also suppose to lower blood pressure too but mine seems to be elevated. We are all diffreent and it may also be the TRT Im taking (as to ncreased TRT). Just had labs done and waiting on the results. I did find this though from Ray Sahelian MD specific to HGW: [FONT=Arial]Prescription drug and medication interactions, safety of combining with pharmaceuticals [/FONT][FONT=Arial]Almost all herbs used for sexual enhancement have not been tested in combination with prescription medications.
