Nutra Labs is voluntarily recalling two dietary supplements because they contain sildenafil, the active pharmaceutical ingredient in an FDA approved product used for erectile dysfunction. This makes these supplements unapproved new drugs. No illnesses or reactions have been reported to date in connection with this problem.
The recalled products are Bull in 1800 mg capsules with a production date of 05/08/2016 and Chao Jimengnan 150 mg tablets with lot #20151018. FDA analysis found that Bull had contamination of 0.026mg/capsule, and 70.46 mg/table for Chao Jimengnan. The expiration dates are 05/07/2019 for Bull and 10/2017 for Chao Jimengnan.
This drug can be dangerous because its active ingredient may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs, such as nitroglycerin. This may cause a significant drop in blood pressure that may be life threatening.
These products are packaged as 30 pills of Bull per tin, and 4 pills of Chao Jimengnan per box. The products are identified with the word ‘Bull’ with the image of a bull on a black tin, and a square red box with ‘Chao Jimengnan Super Powerful Man Tablets’ on the front. They were both distributed nationwide over the internet.
If you purchased either of these products, stop using them. Adult men who use nitrates for cardiac conditions are most at risk for serious health problems from these products. Take them to a drug recycling center in your community, or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
If you have had an adverse reaction after taking these supplements, see your doctor. You can report any problems or reactions to the FDA at their MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online, by regular mail, or by fax.
