The US Food and Drug Administration is today repeating its warning over sexual enhancement supplements bought over the internet. The FDA released a list of sexual performance enhancements that were found to be a risk to human health back in 2004. FDA compliance was lacking as the manufacturers of these drugs were breaking federal law by refusing to fully disclose all of the ingredients in the sexually stimulating drugs.

The following are just a few of the ‘supplements’ that were found to be in nreach of FDA compliance; Super Shangai, Strong Testis, Shangai Ultra, Shangai Ultra X, Lady Shangai, Shangai Regular, also marketed as Shangai Chaojimengnan, Hero, Naturalë.

You can see the full list of illegal products on the FDA’s website. Each of the banned products are promoted as a pill to prevent erectile dysfunction and enhance your performance in bed. However if you are taking another prescription drug or use some herbal remedies you may be at serious health risks.

The most recent product to be attacked by the FDA is Stiff Nights which is sold over the internet and in some retail outlets. It is not what it claims to be, the active ingredients definitely do not fall under the category of an all-natural dietary supplement. Withholding ingredients is in breach of FDA compliance and the drugs marketing regulations. Withholding ingredient information can put consumers at serious health risk because the active ingredients in many sexual enhancement drugs can react with prescription medicines.

Men are at the highest risk if they are taking medication for conditions including heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol at the same time as taking Stiff Nights and other performance enhancing drugs. This is because Stiff Night contains the chemical sulfoaildenafil which is the ingredient used in Viagra. When this comes into contact with some nitrate drugs, a person’s blood pressure can dramatically fall to dangerous levels. Nitrates are commonly found in the medicines used to treat the above conditions and a side effect of them can be erectile dysfunction.

Because these banned sexual enhancement drugs are advertised as ‘all-natural’, the men do not think there is a risk to taking them at the same time as their prescription drugs. The FDA was tipped off about Stiff Nights through a customer complaint. After investigation the FDA deemed it necessary to produce their warning.
