| The United States: Public Notification: Miraculous Evil Root Contains Undeclared Drug Substance Sildenafil |
| |
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to purchase or use Miraculous Evil Root, a product promoted and sold for sexual enhancement on various websites and possibly in some retail stores. FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that Miraculous Evil Root contains sildenafil, the active ingredient in the FDA approved prescription drug Viagra, used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). This undeclared ingredient 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. Consumers should stop using this product immediately and consult a healthcare professional if you experienced any negative side effects.
Please refer to the following website in FDA for details:
