FDA Cautions About Sexual Enhancement Supplements

The FDA offers these words of advice to patients, Caution about Sexual Enhancement Supplements.

An FDA investigation of a number of these sexual enhancement products found that a third of them actually contained the same or similar ingredients as those in Viagra (sildenafil citrate), Cialis (tadalafil), and Levitra (vardenafil HCl) - and sometimes in very large amounts. FDA has issued many alerts about these products over the past several years, but their number appears to be growing.

In a nutshell:

• Patients who should not take approved prescription drugs for erectile dysfunction should not take these sexual enhancement products, because they could pose similar or worse risks.
• Patients who are using prescription drugs to treat erectile dysfunction should not to take these so-called "supplements" because doing so could expose them to dangerously high doses of the active ingredient in their prescriptions.
