| Australia: Safety advisory: Blue Stinger Capsules Contain Undeclared Substance Sulfoaildenafil |
| |
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has tested Blue Stinger capsules and found that they contain the undeclared substance sulfoaildenafil, despite the product packaging claims it contains no synthetic chemicals or hormones. Consumers are advised that sulfoaildenafil is an analogue of the prescription-only substance sildenafil (which is the active ingredient in Viagra). Consumers are also advised to stop taking Blue Stinger 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:
