Consumers should not use two electronic-cigarette liquids that contain erectile dysfunction drugs because they may pose health risks, according to a story at WebMD quoting CNN and citing the US Food and Drug Administration.
The two HelloCig e-liquids were said to contain tadalafil and sildenafil, the main ingredients in two of the most popular male enhancement drugs (Cialis and Viagra).
Laboratory tests had found both sildenafil and tadalafil in E-Cialis HelloCig E-Liquid and sildenafil in E-Rimonabant HelloCig E-Liquid. The e-liquids are made by HelloCig Electronic Technology of Shanghai, China.
‘These FDA-approved prescription drugs are not approved for inclusion in e-liquid products sold over the counter and are therefore being sold illegally, the FDA said.
It was said that because the products were not properly labeled, they could pose a risk to people who took nitrates for high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol or heart disease.
No adverse events related to the two e-liquids had been reported to the FDA.
