2 drugs recalled for containing active ingredient in Viagra

Two drugs marketed as men's sexual enhancement helpers with the ingredient that puts the vigor in Viagra have been recalled.

Nutra Labs is recalling Bull 1800 milligram capsules and Chao Jimengnan Super Powerful Man 150 mg tablets, both of which were sold nationwide online. U.S. Food and Drug Administration testing found both had sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra.

"Sildenafil is the active pharmaceutical ingredient in an FDA approved product used for erectile dysfunction, making Bull capsules and Chao Jimengnan tablets unapproved new drugs," the recall notice posted to the FDA website says.

Drugs with undeclared sildenafil get recalled for the same reason the Viagra commercials warn men with nitrates off that drug _ the mix can cause a possibly deadly blood pressure plunge.

The Bull lot recalled was produced May 8, 2016, with an expiration date of May 7, 2019. The Chao lot recalled was No. 20151018 with an expiration date of October 2017.
