Levitra Compound Found In Dietary Supplement
Wednesday, December 24th, 2008The product was being sold and marketed as a healthy diet supplement but following testing from the Food and Drug Administration in the United States it was found to be containing compounds that are only allowed to be used under license and which are indicated for erectile dysfunction.
The product was found to contain Piperadino Vardenafil that is almost identical in structure to the Vardenafil Citrate compound that is found in the erectile dysfunction drug Levitra, made by the pharmaceutical company Bayer. Levitra is the third most popular erectile dysfunction medication in the world and in clinical trials has been shown to be as effective as Viagra and Cialis which are its main rivals.
Whoever manufactures this product is extremely irresponsible and could have caused the deaths of a number of men as vardenafil in any form can react with nitrates, (which some men take for heart problems), and cause fatal low blood pressure levels. All three erectile dysfunction medications, Viagra, Cialis and Levitra have been contra-indicated for use in men who take nitrates or who have heart problems. The real danger is that as this product H S Joy of Love makes no mention of the fact that it contains the vardenafil citrate chemical some men may have used it not being aware of the possible fatal consequences. H S Joy of Love was distributed by Jen-On Herbal Science International based in California and is now immediately being recalled following the FDA testing.
