This product was identified during an examination of imported goods. FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that Stree Overlord contains sildenafil and ciprofloxacin. Sildenafil is the active ingredient in Viagra, an FDA-approved prescription drug for erectile dysfunction. FDA’s approval of Viagra 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. Ciprofloxacin is the active ingredient in Cipro, an FDA-approved prescription drug in a class of drugs called fluoroquinolone antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections. Fluoroquinolones are associated with disabling and potentially permanent side effects of the tendons, muscles, joints, nerves, and the central nervous system.
