In March of 2010, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning for a product called Man Up Now, a dietary supplement for men that promises fast acting sexual enhancement for those who take it. Advertised as an herbal supplement, Man Up Now promises \u201cinstant results\u201d without needing a prescription. <\/p>\n
The FDA warns the product\u2019s promise is misleading. Approved products that address male erectile dysfunction (ED) must be prescribed by physicians because of certain chemical components that may cause harmful side effects. Man Up Now comes in capsule form and is sold over the counter or on-line. <\/p>\n
Concern was raised due to an \u201cunpredictable risk\u201d in misinterpreting the product\u2019s advertising as an \u201call natural\u201d herbal supplement. In actuality, Man Up Now contains sulfoaildenafil, a compound remarkably similar to sildenafil, which is found in Viagra, a top, rated medication for treating ED. Both chemicals are known to react negatively in those who have heart conditions, or take nitroglycerin for heart issues. As the FDA reports, Sulfoaildenafil could \u201cdangerously\u201d lower blood pressure resulting in an \u201cunpredictable risk\u201d.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The initial product warning urged anyone taking Man Up Now to \u201cstop using immediately\u201d due to an \u201cundeclared drug ingredient.\u201d Unknowing consumers who believe the \u201call natural\u201d claim could unknowingly take the capsule assuming no interference with other health factors. FDA approved ED medication is thoroughly tested and comes with copious warnings of risk factors and possible side effects. Unapproved products do not abide by such disclosure guidelines.<\/p>\n
When a product touting sexual enhancement claims to work \u201cinstantly\u201d, or \u201cin minutes\u201d consumers must proceed cautiously; tested and approved medication takes at least 30 minutes to take effect. Fast acting supplements like Man Up Now, under certain conditions, will deprive the brain of adequate blood supply, therefore causing dizziness and feeling light headed. In extreme cases, stroke or death could result.<\/p>\n
Distributed by Synergy Distribution, LLC, Man Up Now can still be purchased on-line. It is not banned or recalled, yet the FDA warning must be taken seriously: Stop Using Immediately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
