FDA warns herbal male performance products contain hidden drugs.

The NPR (4/5, Hensley) "Shots" blog reports that the Food and Drug Administration "says its tests have found undeclared drug ingredients in supplements marketed for the enhancement of sexual performance." For example, the FDA "said its lab found that Ninja Mojo omitted from its long list of herbs an ingredient that modern science definitely made possible: tadalafil, the active ingredient in the prescription drug Cialis." Additionally on Tuesday, the agency "said Love Rider, another supplement, also contains tadalifil, though its label doesn't say so," and another supplement, "AFFIRM XL, contains undeclared sulfoaildenafil, a chemical cousin of sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra," the FDA said.
