FDA addresses tainted supplements for ED

FDA estimates that more than 200 million Americans take dietary supplements. Many consumers, however, don’t realize that supplements are not regulated or approved by FDA.

High doses of undeclared drug ingredients—many that are dangerous—often lurk in these products, according to FDA.

“You can’t tell for sure what’s in them, and more often than not, there are huge amounts and random combinations [of drugs] that have never been studied for safety or efficacy,” Lyndsay Meyer, press officer for FDA, told Pharmacy Today.
