The FDA is recalling a supplement that claimed to be “100% natural.” The government health agency found Sildenafil and Tadalafil, the two active ingredients in Viagra and Cialis, in the supplement called Jack Rabbit.

Voluntary Recall

The Florida based company has voluntarily recalled its product, which is used to enhance sexual pleasure. Jack Rabbit Inc told clients to stop taking the supplement. The company issued the nationwide recall on Tuesday after the FDA deemed the supplement an “unapproved drug.”

“The active drug ingredients are not listed on the product label. The undeclared ingredients may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs such as nitroglycerin and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels,” a press release said.

“[We are] committed to providing accurate information about its products because of concerns for the health and safety of consumers,” the press release said. “Jack Rabbit Inc. is working voluntarily with the FDA in the recall process. It sincerely regrets any inconvenience to customers.”

The two ingredients found by the FDA require a prescription in the U.S. Anyone who purchased Jack Rabbit with the lot code 2510 should not take the supplement. Those with unopened bottles may be eligible for a refund by contacting the company.

Reoccurring problem

It’s not the first time the FDA has had this problem. In 2010, another supplement, Rockhard, was recalled for the same reason.

The FDA has made more efforts to crack down on supplements recently because of this reoccurring problem. Supplements are not subjected to the same rigorous testing as prescription medications. However, the health agency does do random supplement testing and can intervene if there is a problem.
