Once again, another product has been found to contain Sulfoaildenafil, and once again the FDA has pulled the product off the market.

According to the official release by the FDA, “Prolatis’ is conducting a voluntary recall after being informed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that lab analysis has found Prolatis’ to contain Sulfoaildenafil, an analogue of Sildenafil, an FDA-approved drug used as treatment for male Erectile Dysfunction (ED), making Prolatis’ an unapproved drug.”

It wasn’t hard to find these guys. (No pun intended). According to the Prolatis website, “Prolatis™ was developed as a fast acting sexual performance enhancer.”

Giant red-flag-on-fire much?

Anyhow, here’s the link to the official FDA news release.

One of the most commented posts so far is the one where I listed an FDA recall from November 2009 about a product called “Stiff Nights”.

Back then, the FDA said “Stiff Nights, a product marketed as a dietary supplement for sexual enhancement, contains an ingredient that can dangerously lower blood pressure and is illegal.”

Stiff Nights got yanked pretty quickly, and everyone was upset how fast it was pulled. Well here we are in August of 2010, and guess what? Stiff Nights is now getting yanked with a bunch of others at the same time. (Would you believe me if I said no pun intended?)

Junior high humor aside, today the company that makes all these products said they are… “conducting a voluntary nationwide recall of products sold under the following names: Stiff Nights, Aziffa, Size Matters, Erex, Mojo, Hard Drive, Eyeful, Red Magic, Straight Up, Zotrex, Monster Excyte, WOW, Xaitrex, Verect, Prolatis, Xytamax, Maxyte, Libidinal, OMG, OMG45, and Zilex (with Golden Spear).”

Mojo? Isn’t that a cartoon character? And OMG? Why not LOL while you’re at it?

Anyhow, apparently, all of these products have sulfoaildenafil.

Sulfoaildenafil!

DUN DUN DUUUNNNN!!!

Sulfoaildenafil is basically sildenafil, a Viagra knockoff. And since this ingredient isn’t listed on the products, and that “the undeclared ingredient may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs such as nitroglycerin and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels”, the FDA says they all gotta’ go!

All of the products listed “with manufacture or distribution dates prior to June 17, 2010 are being recalled” even though “no illnesses or adverse effects have been reported to the company to date in connection with these products.”

Here’s the link to the official FDA recall article.

The FDA issued a warning late Friday for everyone “…not to take Miracle Mineral Solution, an oral liquid also known as “Miracle Mineral Supplement” or “MMS.””

The good news is that, for once, an FDA “warning” item isn’t about a product that’s trying to sneak some Viagra through the retail channel! The bad news? “The product, when used as directed, produces an industrial bleach that can cause serious harm to health.”

Not just regular bleach. Industrial bleach. For people to drink.

Damn.

The loophole appears to be that it’s not bleachy as it shipps in the Miracle Mineral Solution bottle, but only becomes bleachified when you follow the Solution’s directions on how to mix it at home.

The FDA says… “the product instructs consumers to mix the 28 percent sodium chlorite solution with an acid such as citrus juice. This mixture produces chlorine dioxide, a potent bleach used for stripping textiles and industrial water treatment. High oral doses of this bleach, such as those recommended in the labeling, can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and symptoms of severe dehydration.”

Damn damn.

But wait! It gets better! This “Miracle Solution” does all this bleachicanification because it claims it will treat “…HIV, hepatitis, the H1N1 flu virus, common colds, acne, cancer, and other conditions.”

Damn damn damn.
