| The United States: Public Notification: Tiger 5000 contains hidden drug ingredients sildenafil and tadalafil |
| |
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to purchase or use Tiger 5000, a product promoted and sold for sexual enhancement on various websites, including www.amazon.com, and possibly in some retail stores.
FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that Tiger 5000 contains sildenafil and tadalafil, the active ingredients in the FDA-approved prescription drugs, Viagra and Cialis, respectively, used to treat erectile dysfunction. These undeclared ingredients 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:
