There was one study that was performed in Iran with questions as to the validity of the results. Therefore, since this is the only published study examining Co-Q10, no recommendations can be made. One thing that is clear though, is that there does not appear to be

With respect to the L-arginine, the recommended dosing has been 1000 mg twice per day, but this is not based on any type of well-controlled trial. There are no reports of taking Cialis with L-arginine causing low blood pressure, but this is a possible side effect.

There is no evidence that taking vitamin C would contribute to developing Peyronie’s disease. In fact, there is really no evidence that any oral agents, supplements, or drugs are known to cause Peyronie’s disease.

No. There is no evidence that topical verapamil has any proven benefit. The only study, which has been done by a group independent from the manufacturer, demonstrated no evidence of penetration of the topical verapamil gel into the underlying plaque tissue. Therefore, until properly performed and validated

There is no long-term data on ultrasound therapy and no study done in a randomized, controlled fashion.
