| The United States: Public Notification: “Mojo Nights” Contains Hidden Drug Ingredients |
| |
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to purchase or use “Mojo Nights”, a product for sexual enhancement sold on various websites and in some retail stores. FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that “Mojo Nights” contains tadalafil, sildenafil, sulfoaildenafil, sulfosildenafil, and hydroxythiohomosildenafil. Tadalafil is the active ingredient in Cialis, and sildenafil is the active ingredient in Viagra. Cialis and Viagra are FDA approved prescription drugs for the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction (ED). Sulfoaildenafil, sulfosildenafil, and hydroxythiohomosildenafil are structurally similar to sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra. 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 health care professional as soon as possible.
