Certain prescription drugs containing yohimbine have been approved since the 1980s in US. They are labeled as yohimbine hydrochloride.

Studies have shown that yohimbine increases blood flow to the penis or vagina. It also increases the nerve impulses that play a role in orgasm. Therefore, it is often used to increase sexual arousal and improve sexual performance, such as erectile dysfunction (ED) symptoms, also known as impotence.
Due to yohimbine's effect on blood vessels causes penile tissue to relax and blood to become engorged, which helps men maintain an erection. When it comes to sexual satisfaction, these effects are beneficial for both sexes.
A handful of studies have tested the effects of yohimbine in humans. Some evidence suggests that yohimbine can enhance the nitric oxide pathway, which helps flow blood to the cavernous tissue of the penis. It also stimulates the pelvic ganglia and boosts the supply of adrenaline to nerve endings. It is especially effective when combined with other products that promote better flow and higher energy levels, such as L-arginine.
