The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recalled the Ultra Shop Supplement Super Panther 7X after the agency found that the product contained the active ingredients in Viagara (sildenafil) and Cialis (tadalafil). Since the packaging did not disclose that those two substances were included in the capsules, use of the product could cause serious health problems.
When used with nitrates, such as those found in prescription medications for diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol and heart disease, both sildenafil and tadalafil have been known to lower blood pressure and even to cause heart failure and death.
Marketed as a “sexual enhancement capsule” that promises “7 days long action,” as well as, “longer and harder erections,” Super Panther 7X has been removed from all stores and online sales forums. Since the undisclosed ingredients make Super Panther 7X an untested and unapproved drug by the FDA, it is imperative that anyone who currently has the product refrain from use and contact the agency to report any adverse affects.
Interestingly, the original version of this product, Black Panther (no 7X), was recalled by the FDA in April 2015 because it was found to contain sildenafil but not tadalafil. The FDA website notes that:
This notification is to inform the public of a growing trend of dietary supplements or conventional foods with hidden drugs and chemicals. These products are typically promoted for sexual enhancement, weight loss, and body building and are often represented as being “all natural.” FDA is unable to test and identify all products marketed as dietary supplements that have potentially harmful hidden ingredients. Consumers should exercise caution before purchasing any product in the above categories.
Consumers who have purchased Super Panther 7X are encouraged to return the pills to their place of purchase for a refund. For those who purchased the product directly from Ultra Shop Supplement, the company can be reached at 888-246-9664 Monday-Friday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
