Sildenafil and tadalafil are phosphodiesterase (PDE-5) inhibitors found in FDA-approved products for the treatment of male erectile disfunction (ED). The FDA says that makes the recalled PrimeZen Black 6000 capsules an unapproved drug.
“PrimeZen Black 6000 capsules containing sildenafil and tadalafil may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and may cause a significant drop in blood pressure that may be life-threatening,” the FDA warned. “People with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates.
Adult males who use nitrates for cardiac conditions are most at risk from these products. Volt Candy said it has not received reports of state adverse events or injuries to date.
