The Protein Shoppe is recalling approximately 21,511 Red-E Tablets, a proprietary dietary supplement blend (3000 mg), because they were found to contain sildenafil. Sildenafil is a prescription drug used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction that was not declared on the product label. Consumers who have purchased these products, which were sold in 1-count plastic bags stapled with cardboard labeling across all lots, should immediately stop using them. Because the safety and efficacy of this unapproved drug have not been established, consumers should contact their healthcare provider for guidance regarding any health concerns.
The product is contaminated with sildenafil, which can interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates and are at significant risk of life-threatening health consequences from this interaction.
