The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) announces that it has tested a product labelled 24K Rhino and found that the capsules contain the undeclared substance sildenafil. Sildenafil may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. People with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or heart disease are often prescribed nitrates. Sildenafil taken in combination with other medications can cause serious side effects. Consumers are advised that sildenafil is a prescription only medicine.
Consumers should stop using 24K Rhino capsules and take any remaining product to their local pharmacy for safe disposal. If they have used any of the product and have concerns, consult their health care practitioner.
