TOPIC: Red Mammoth by Celebrate Today: Recall - Due to the Presence of Undeclared Sildenafil and Tadalafil
AUDIENCE: Consumer, Health Professional, Pharmacy
ISSUE: Celebrate Today is recalling lot number DK1027 of Red Mammoth capsules because Celebrate Today was informed by Amazon that laboratory analysis has found the product to be tainted with sildenafil and tadalafil, ingredients known as a phosphodiesterase (PDE-5) inhibitors found in FDA approved products for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction. The presence of sildenafil and tadalafil in Red Mammoth capsules renders the product an unapproved drug for which safety and efficacy have not been established.
Risk Statement: Consumers with underlying medical conditions who take Red Mammoth 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.
To date, Celebrate Today has not received any reports of adverse events related to this recall.
