 | Today, the FDA issued warnings (here) for four male-enhancement products that contain undeclared prescription drug products. All of the products on the list in the FDA’冱 warning contain both sildenafil and tadalafil (the active ingredients in Viagra and Cialis, respectively), while the first three also contain undeclared acetaminophen. As stated in the warnings from the FDA, sildenafil and tadalafil as undeclared "ingredients may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs, such as nitroglycerin, and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Acetaminophen is found in many over-the-counter and prescription products and is a pain reliver. The danger here is that the inclusion of this undeclared drug in the product could cause an unintentional overdose of acetaminophen in consumers who also take OTC acetaminophen for headaches or other pain, or may be taking a prescription product that contains acetaminophen, which could lead to an elevation of liver enzymes, indicative of liver injury, potentially leading to liver failure and even death. While the Agency is warning consumers about the four products in tod’y窶冱 announcement, there are many more illegally marketed male-enhancement products that pop up as the’FDA窶冱 enforcement activity in this continuous game of whack-a-mole goes on every day. The dangers are real, and the Agency continues to inform the public to use extreme caution when seeking unregulated products of this nature and avoid their use as their lives may (literally) depend on it. Well, I am Confused! |
