Male sexual performance and energy products recalled due to contamination with prescription medicine

Endurance Pro Energy Boost Capsules (maker: Veata LLC)
Boom Max (maker: Boulla LLC)

Comment: The makers of these products have recalled one lot of each after testing revealed contamination with the prescription medication sildenafil.

Sildenafil is prescribed for erectile dysfunction. It can cause serious side effects, including a dangerous drop in blood pressure. This risk is highest among people who are also taking heart medicines such as nitroglycerin. A sudden and significant drop in blood pressure may cause heart attack, stroke, or death.

The recalled products are marketed as dietary supplements for improving male sexual performance and energy.
