Is ICP Therapy The Right Treatment For Erectile Dysfunction?

default
Posted on Thu, 4 Sep 2014
Question: I am considering a treatment for male ED called ICP therapy. I read that it is very effective and very safe. However, I read that it could possibly cause heart rhythm abnormalities and effects on liver enzymes. If this is the case, how could it be safe? Do you know if this treatment is safe...and cause these adverse effects?

ICP is comparatively safe method for getting good erection provided one does not have any pre existing liver disorder .

1) I am not aware that I have any liver disorders.
2) I do take one baby aspirin per day.
I am concerned about cardiac reactions? How could this be safe...even if there's a low risk.
Is Viagra safer? Does it present any cardiac issues?
