Abuja(Flowerbudnews): NAFDAC Director-General, Prof Mojisola Adeyeye has warned Nigerians to beware of PrimeZEN Black 6000 male enhancement capsules.

Prof Adeyeye disclosed in an official alert that the product had been recalled due to the presence of life-endangering undeclared ingredients.

In the Public Alert No. 015/2023, the NAFDAC Boss informed the public that ”Volt Candy is voluntarily recalling one lot of PrimeZen Black 6000, 2000 mg capsule, to the consumer level”.

Prof Adeyeye said that the ”recall is following an FDA analysis which found PrimeZen Black 6000 capsules to contain undeclared ingredients (tadalafil and sildenafil). Sildenafil and tadalafil are phosphodiesterase (PDE-5) inhibitors found in FDA-approved products for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction.

”The presence of sildenafil and tadalafil in PrimeZen Black 6000 capsules renders them unapproved drugs for which safety and efficacy have not been established and, therefore, subject to recall.

PrimeZen Black 6000 capsules containing sildenafil and tadalafil 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. People with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates. Among the adult male population who are most likely to use these products, adult males who use nitrates for cardiac conditions are most at risk from these products.
