The supplements may contain undeclared sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra and other erectile dysfunction (ED) medications, according to an FDA recall notice issued Monday.
Sildenafil has the potential to cause adverse reactions when taken with other medications such as nitrates, which could lead to a sudden and life-threatening drop in blood pressure.
Affected products include 175 lots of Man of Steel 1 and Man of Steel 2, 4000 mg, which were distributed nationwide at the retail level. All recalled supplements have an expiration date of 10-17-18.
If you purchased any Man of Steel products included in this recall, you should discard them immediately and contact your doctor with health concerns.
The company claims it has not received any reports of adverse reactions or other injuries associated with its supplements, and there was no indication of any such incidents on the FDA recall notice.
So far this year, there have been at least 6 drugs recalled for undeclared ingredients, 15 medical device recalls and 127 food recalls, according to the FDA.
