Libimax Dietary Supplement Recalled Nationwide
Nature & Health Co., of Brea, CA, announced today that it is conducting a nationwide recall of the company's supplement product sold under the name Libimax. The Company has been informed by representatives of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that lab analysis by the FDA of Libimax samples found the product contains tadalafil, an active ingredient of an FDA-approved drug for erectile dysfunction (ED), making Libimax an unapproved drug.
The FDA advised that this poses a threat to consumers because tadalafil may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels.
According to the FDA, consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates. The FDA advises that ED is a common problem in men with these conditions, and they may seek products to enhance sexual performance. The FDA advises that tadalafil, may cause side effects, such as headaches and flushing.
The recalled Libimax is sold as a 1 capsule individual pack or 10-capsule and 20-capsule plastic bottles in retail stores in California, Georgia, Illinois, Texas, and Ohio. The product label neither states it contains tadalafil nor warns consumers with high blood pressure not to ingest the product.
