| The United States: The Menz Club, LLC Issues a Voluntary Nationwide Recall of V Maxx Rx due to Undeclared Sulfoaildenafil |
| |
The Menz Club, LLC is conducting a voluntary recall of V Maxx Rx to the consumer level. FDA laboratory analysis of V Maxx Rx was found to contain undeclared sulfoaidenafil. Sulfoaidenafil is an analog of sildenafil, an FDA approved prescription drug used to treat Erectile Dysfunction (ED), making V Maxx Rx, an unapproved new drug. FDA advises that this poses a threat to consumers because sildenafil may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs such as nitroglycerin and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Men with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates. This product is marketed as a dietary supplement intended for use as a male enhancement product. Consumers should contact their physician or health care provider if they have experienced any problems that may be related to taking or using these products.
