| |
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to purchase or use Magnum XXL 9800, a product promoted and sold for sexual enhancement on various websites, and possibly in some retail stores.
FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that Magnum XXL 9800 contains sildenafil, the active ingredient the FDA-approved prescription drug Viagra, used to treat erectile dysfunction. FDA’s approval of Viagra is restricted to use under the supervision of a licensed health care 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.
