| The United States: Public Notification: Man Fuel Xtreme Edition contains hidden drug ingredients sildenafil, dithiodesmethyl carbodenafil and desmethyl carbodenafil |
| |
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to purchase or use Man Fuel Xtreme Edition, a product promoted and sold for sexual enhancement on various websites, including www.gomanfuel.com, and possibly in some retail stores.
FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that Man Fuel Xtreme Edition contains sildenafil, dithiodesmethyl carbodenafil and desmethyl carbodenafil. Sildenafil is the active ingredient in the FDA-approved prescription drug Viagra, used to treat erectile dysfunction. 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. Dithiodesmethyl carbodenafil and desmethyl carbodenafil are structurally similar to sildenafil.

In Hong Kong, the above product is not a registered pharmaceutical product.
