The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has tested UPMAX capsules and found that they contain the undeclared substance sulfoaildenafil despite the product packaging claims to be All Natural, A herbal supplement for Men. Consumers are advised that sulfoaildenafil is an analogue of the prescription-only medicine sildenafil (which is the active ingredient in Viagra). Consumers are also advised to stop taking UPMAX capsules and take any remaining capsules to their local pharmacy for safe disposal, and consult their healthcare practitioner if they have any concerns arising from their use of this product.
Please refer to the following website in TGA for details:
