The National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has received information from the US FDA about the voluntary recall of all lots of Thumbs Up 7 Red 70K and Thumbs Up 7 Blue 69K capsules. FDA analysis has found that the products contain undeclared Sildenafil and Tadalafil.
Sildenafil and Tadalafil are ingredients known as phosphodiesterase (PDE-5) inhibitors found in approved products for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction. The presence of Sildenafil and Tadalafil in Thumbs Up 7 Red 70K, and Thumbs Up 7 Blue 69K capsules make them unapproved drugs for which safety and efficacy have not been established.
Consumers with underlying medical issues who take Thumbs Up 7 Red 70K capsules and Thumbs Up 7 Blue 69K capsules with undeclared Sildenafil and Tadalafil may experience serious health risks. For example, PDE-5 inhibitors may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) lowering blood pressure to dangerous levels that may be life-threatening. Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease often take nitrates.
Thumbs Up 7 Red 70K, capsules and Thumbs Up 7 Blue 69K capsules are marketed as dietary supplements for male sexual enhancement. The products were distributed via the internet.
