FDA: NEWS RELEASES
The U. S. Food and Drug Administration is investigating the reported death
of a 26-year old man, possibly associated with the use of Vigor-25. The
FDA says Vigor-25, a product marketed as a natural dietary supplement
to enhance male sexual performance, should not be purchased or used because
it contains
sildenafil,
the active ingredient in the prescription drug Viagra. Sildenafil may
interact with prescription drugs known as nitrates, including nitroglycerin,
and can dangerously lower blood pressure. “This product is dangerous
to consumers because it claims to contain only natural ingredients when
it actually contains a prescription drug ingredient,” said Deborah
M. Autor, director of the Office of Compliance in the FDA’s Center
for Drug Evaluation and Research. “Tainted products place consumers
at risk of injury and death, especially those consumers with underlying
health conditions.” Vigor-25, distributed by Piston Corp., is sold
on Internet sites and possibly in some retail outlets. If you are a loved
one have been injured please call
