Recall of a “Viagra alternative”

News Archive

After the US Food and Drug Administration analysed samples of its product Viapro 375 mg capsules, sold as an alternative to Viagra, EG Labs announced a recall of all batches because of a possible risk to users.

The capsules contain an undeclared active ingredient, thio-methisosildenafil, a chemical relative of sildenafil (the ingredient of Viagra), which treats erection problems. It can interact with nitrates, found in some medicines such as nitroglycerin, and lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. People with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or heart disease often take nitrates.

Erection problems should be treated with medicines prescribed by a doctor, not "natural" products of unknown content.
