The United States: Public Notification: Golden Night contains hidden drug ingredients sildenafil and hydroxythiohomosildenafil |
|
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to purchase or use Golden Night, a product promoted and sold for sexual enhancement on various websites and in some retail stores.
FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that Golden Night contains sildenafil and hydroxythiohomosildenafil. Hydroxythiohomosildenafil is structurally similar to sildenafil, the active ingredient in the FDA-approved prescription drug Viagra, used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). These undeclared ingredients may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs such as nitroglycerin and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Men with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates.
Please refer to the following website in FDA for details:

In Hong Kong, the above product is not a registered pharmaceutical product.
