FDA Warns Against Chinese-Made Supplements Containing Sildenafil Citrate From Unsafe Sources
16 01 2008
WASHINGTON - Some Chinese-made dietary supplements marketed to provide male sexual enhancement contain undeclared erectile dysfunction drugs (Sildenafil citrate, the active ingredient in Viagra), putting users at risk, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned Friday.
The agency advised consumers to stay away from Shangai Chaojimengnan supplements sold under the names
- Super Shangai
- Strong Testis
- Shangai Ultra
- Shangai Ultra X
- Lady Shangai
- Shangai Regular.
The Chinese-made supplements are packaged and distributed by Shangai Distributor Inc. of Puerto Rico.
Product testing indicated that some of the so-called supplements contain Viagra’s active ingredient, sildenafil, or a compound with a chemical structure that mimics sildenafil.
So, not only are you risking buying something that might have zero active ingredients and zero benefit to you, you also buying something that could make you sick or could be an overdose of who-knows-what.
Buyer beware!
