There are many different products being advertised as herbal viagra, all being made with different ingredients.

Herbal viagras, contrary to what the name suggests, do not normally contain Sildenafil Citrate. Viagra has become a [[genericized trademark|generic]] term for many people discussing drugs designed to treat erectile disfunction.<ref name='hv6'>{{cite web|url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_g1epc/is_tov/ai_2419101282 |title=Viagra: St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture |accessdate=2007-08-22 |date=2002 |work=St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture |publisher=Gale Group}}</ref> |

Herbal viagras often carry a number of dangerous side effects, primarily they often cause abnormally [[Hypotension|low blood pressure]] and can restrict blood flow to vital organs. There is also evidence to suggest some preparations may be toxic if taken larger doses.<ref name="hv2" /> |
