| The United States: V=GRA GOLD 500mg contains hidden drug ingredient sildenafil |
| |
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to purchase or use V=GRA GOLD 500mg, a product promoted and sold for sexual enhancement on various websites and possibly in some retail stores.
FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that V=GRA GOLD 500mg contains sildenafil, the active ingredient in the FDA-approved prescription drug Viagra, used to treat erectile dysfunction. FDA approval of Viagra is restricted to use under the supervision of a licensed healthcare 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.
Please refer to the following website in FDA for details:
