The FDA has issued a warning to consumers not to purchase or consume
the following products being promoted and sold on Web sites as
"dietary supplements" for treating erectile dysfunction (ED) or sexual
performance enhancement: Zimaxx, Libidus, Neophase, Nasutra, Vigor-25,
Actra-Rx, and 4EVERON. These supplements are, in fact, illegal drugs
that contain potentially harmful undeclared ingredients. They have not
been approved by FDA and have no guarantee of safety, effectiveness,
or purity. Consumers who have used any of these products are advised
to discontinue use and talk with their health care provider. Chemical
analysis by the FDA found that Zimaxx contains sildenafil, the active
ingredient in the ED drug Viagra, while the other products contain
chemical ingredients that are analogues of sildenafil or vardenafil,
the active ingredient in the ED drug Levitra. There is no mention of
these ingredients in any of the illegal products' labeling and they
fail to disclose the potential side effects or potentially dangerous
drug interactions. The FDA may take additional enforcement steps based
on responses to these actions.
