| The United States: Special Edition Platinum 10K contains hidden drug ingredients tadalafil and vardenafil |
| |
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to purchase or use Special Edition Platinum 10K, a product promoted and sold for sexual enhancement on various websites and possibly in some retail stores.
FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that Special Edition Platinum 10K contains tadalafil and vardenafil, the active ingredients in the FDA-approved prescription drugs Cialis and Levitra, respectively, used to treat erectile dysfunction. FDA approvals of Cialis and Levitra are restricted to use under the supervision of a licensed healthcare professional. 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:
