| The United States: Public Notification: Helmi’s Honey VIP contains hidden drug ingredient tadalafil |
| |
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to purchase or use Helmi’s Honey VIP, a product promoted and sold for sexual enhancement on various websites, and possibly in some retail stores.
FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that Helmi’s Honey VIP contains tadalafil, the active ingredient in the FDA-approved prescription drug Cialis, used to treat erectile dysfunction. FDA’s approval of Cialis 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.
Please refer to the following website in FDA for details:
