| The United States: Your Favorite Shop issues voluntary nationwide recall of The Red Pill Capsules due to the presence of undeclared tadalafil |
| |
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announces that Your Favorite Shop is voluntarily recalling The Red Pill Capsules (lot 26436989) to the consumer level. Your Favorite Shop was notified by Amazon that laboratory analysis has found the product to be tainted with tadalafil, an ingredient in FDA approved products for treatment of male erectile dysfunction in the family of drugs known as phosphodiesterase (PDE-5) inhibitors. The presence of tadalafil in The Red Pill Capsules makes this product an unapproved drug for which the safety and efficacy has not been established and therefore, subject to recall.
Consumers with underlying medical issues who take The Red Pill Capsules with undeclared tadalafil may experience serious health risks. For example, PDE-5 inhibitors may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) lowering blood pressure to dangerous levels that may be life-threatening. Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease often take nitrates. To date, Your Favorite Shop has not received any reports of adverse events related to this recall.
The product is marketed as a dietary supplement for male sexual enhancement.
