A Trio of Sexual Enhancement Products Get FDA's Attention


A trio of products sold over the counter have caught the eye of the FDA. It looks like companies see the desire for men to buy these products, and they take illegal shortcuts to make them. 



RigiRx Plus” Contains Undeclared Drug Ingredient



The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to purchase or use “RigiRx Plus,” a product for sexual enhancement manufactured by Enhance Nutraceutical, and sold on various websites, including www.rigirxplus.com. 
FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that “RigiRx Plus” contains aminotadalafil. Aminotadalafil is an analog of tadalafil, an FDA approved prescription drug used to treat Erectile Dysfunction (ED). This drug may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs such as nitroglycerin and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Men with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or heart disease often take nitrates.
