The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to purchase or use Herb Viagra Male Sexual Stimulant, a product promoted for sexual enhancement. This product was identified during an examination of imported goods. FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that Herb Viagra Male Sexual Stimulant contains sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra, an FDA-approved prescription drug for erectile dysfunction. FDA’s approval of Viagra is restricted to use under the supervision of a licensed health care professional. This undeclared ingredient may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs, such as nitroglycerin, and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. People with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates.
