- Activating receptors in the brain that may enhance sexual function
- Affecting appetite regulation and mood through central nervous system activity
Potential Side Effects / Considerations
- Nausea or facial flushing, especially during initial use
- Spontaneous or prolonged erections in men (priapism risk at high doses)
