Brief Answer:
Clinical studies have not been done

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank You for consulting HealthcareMagic!

I suggest not to use this, unless a Physician or a Urologist prescribes after a thorough physical examination. The only FDA approved indication for it's use is for the treatment of ovulatory dysfunction in women desiring pregnancy.

Clinical studies have not been done to study the adverse reactions and efficacy of it's use in low sex drive.

Stay healthy and thank you for consulting! You can contact me again anytime, if you need clarifications or further assistance in future. Kindly rate the answer if you are satisfied.
