Sexual Enhancement supplement RHINO 7 recalled
National Video Supply located in Santa Clarita, California is voluntarily recalling the following product to the consumer level: RHINO 7 3000 Platinum Capsules packaged in single 1 count blister hang tab cards with UPC # 700729253748 ALL LOT NUMBERS WITHIN EXPIRY. Lot numbers are located on the back top right of the (1) count and on the side of the 6 count bottles. FDA analysis found these products to contain undeclared desmethyl carbondenafil and dapoxetine. Desmethyl carbondenafil is a phosphodiesterase PDE-5 inhibitor which is a class of drugs used to treat male erectile dysfunction, making these products unapproved new drugs. Dapoxetine is an active ingredient not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Desmethyl carbondenafil may pose a threat to consumers because this PDE-5 inhibitor may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels that can be life threatening. Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates.
Dapoxetine has not been approved by the FDA and therefore its safety or efficacy has not been established. Chemically, dapoxetine belongs to a class of drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) used to treat depression. Studies have shown that antidepressants increase the risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in children, adolescents, and young adults when compared to placebo. Therefore, consuming these products presents a health risk which could be life threatening.
These products are marketed as dietary supplements for sexual enhancement and packaged in single 1 count blisters and 6 count bottles and distributed to retail stores nationwide. National Video has discontinued sales of these products.
National Video Supply has notified its customers of this voluntary recall via e-mail and phone. Consumers that purchased these products from National Video Supply should stop using them immediately and can return the products to: 21100 Centre Pointe Park Way, Santa Clarita, Ca. 91350
