| The United States: Public Notification: Full Throttle On Demand Contains Undeclared Drug Substance Propoxyphenyl Sildenafil |
| |
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to purchase or use Full Throttle On Demand, a product promoted and sold for sexual enhancement on various websites, including www.overstock.com1, and in some retail stores. FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that Full Throttle On Demand contains propoxyphenyl sildenafil. Propoxyphenyl sildenafil is structurally similar to sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra, 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. Consumers should stop using this product immediately and consult a health care professional as soon as possible if you have experienced any negative side effects.
