FDA is advising consumers not to purchase or use Vitalikor Fast Acting, a product promoted and sold for sexual enhancement on various websites and in retail stores, such as www.vitalityresearchlabs.com, www.vitalikor.com, and in GNC stores (including on www.gnc.com).
FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that Vitalikor Fast Acting contains tadalafil and vardenafil, the active ingredients in the FDA approved prescription drugs Cialis and Levitra, respectively, 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.
Consumers should stop using this product immediately and throw it away. Consumers who have experienced any negative side effects should consult a healthcare professional as soon as possible.
