Were you feeling a little stiff this morning? A coffee that is sure to “get men up” in the morning, is being recalled.
FDA laboratory analysis allegedly confirmed that Kopi Jantan Tradisional Natural Herbs Coffee (strong man coffee) contains desmethyl carbodenafil. Desmethyl carbodenafil is structurally similar to sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra, an FDA-approved prescription drug for erectile dysfunction (ED).
The FDA says that this undeclared ingredient may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs such as nitroglycerin and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Men with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates.
The coffee, which is approximately $16 for five single-cup packs, has been marketed by many health food stores as a male enhancement herb.
Sellers of the product say that the FDA is simply trying to prevent the makers of Viagra from losing money.
Men who drink this product for breakfast and experience an erection until lunchtime should consult a doctor.
The coffee can still be found here.
We want to hear from you. What do you think about the recall?
