The United States: Public Notification: XtraHRD contains hidden drug ingredient N-desmethyl tadalafil |
|
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to purchase or use XtraHRD, a product promoted and sold for sexual enhancement on various Web sites, including www.amazon.com, and possibly in some retail stores.
FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that XtraHRD contains N-desmethyl tadalafil. N-desmethyl tadalafil is an analogue of tadalafil, the active ingredient in Cialis, an FDA- approved prescription drug for erectile dysfunction (ED). This undeclared ingredient 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.
