Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Brief answer....It is a new product but not FDA approved.
Detailed answer.
PHGH is a new male enhancement product having a big fan following and backed by lot of advertisement.
Although it is supposed to be a herbal product but it lacks scientific evidence and not US FDA approved.
Since there is no scientific data available,we don't know the side effects of this product as well as its interaction with different medications,including what you are already taking.
As a doctor I would not recommend its use because I am not sure about it.
However you may talk to your doctor for its use as he may be having more experience and more trust regarding this drug and it's use in you.
I hope it helps however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks

Dear Dr. XXXXXXX

Thank you so much for your insightful reply...it is good advice.

I see my personal physician on Wednesday...I shall ask her to read the bottle and give me her comments. Yes her...I figure if females have a male Dr., then I should have a female Dr. After all fair is fair...right?
