Two herbal dietary supplements have been recalled by Today the World LLC due to the fact that they contain undeclared ingredients Nortadalafil and Tadalafil, both of which could lead to life threateningly low blood pressure, the FDA reports.
The recalled supplements include one lot of Schwinnng capsules and two lots of Sustain capsules. Find all of the info—including what to do if you’re in possession of one of the recalled supplements—below.
Schwinnng and Sustain Supplements Recalled
This recall was issued voluntarily by Today The World after it was discovered that the products, marketed as male sexual enhancement supplements, contained Tadalafil and Nortadalafil. Since these ingredients were undeclared in the recalled supplements, the supplements are unapproved and therefore potentially lacking safety and efficacy.
Subsequently, the following drugs have been recalled:
Sustain: BTH: 230551, expiration date: 12/05/2026; BTH: 230571, expiration date: 14/05/2026
Schwinnng: Lot #: 2108, expiration date: 10/2024
These products were distributed via Amazon, as well as Sustain's and Schwinnng's websites.
Tadalafil and Nortadaafil, typically used to treat erectile male dysfunction, "may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and may cause a significant drop in blood pressure that may be life threatening," according to the FDA's announcement. This can be especially dangerous for individuals with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease, as they may be taking nitrates that could cause these interactions.
If you have one of the recalled supplements, the FDA says you should stop using them. They encourage consumers to destroy the products or return them to Today The World, 11954 NE Glisan St # 405 Portland OR 97220. "The Sustain and Schwinnng products must include the blister pack foil (with any pills remaining) containing all lot codes and receipt of proof of purchase, and your return address," the announcement says.
