Synopsis
- A recent FDA analysis has concluded that the sexual enhancer drug, Rhino
69 Extreme 50000 is tainted with undeclared tadalafil. The analysis has
caused the drug’s wholesaler to initiate a voluntary recall. - Tadalafil is an active ingredient in a FDA-approved prescription drug that
is used for erectile dysfunction. - Some Rhino 69 consumers with underlying cardiovascular diabetes, hypertension,
high cholesterol or heart disease, could face fatal consequences when
mixing the enhancer with regular medicines like nitrates. - So far, there have not been any reports of adverse events related to this
recall but in 2017, the American Medical Association released a report
showing that many drugs the FDA approves are involved in some kind of
recall or safety event after being released to consumers.
Sexual Enhancement Drug on FDA’s Recall Watchlist
On April 18, 2018, AMA Wholesale Inc.
voluntarily recalled Rhino 69 Extreme 50000 capsules at the consumer level after a U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA)
analysis found the product to be tainted with undeclared tadalafil. Tadalafil
is an active ingredient in a FDA-approved prescription drug that is used
for erectile dysfunction. As of April 24, 2018, the distributor had not
yet received any reports of adverse events related to this recall.
According to the FDA, “consumers who take supplements for erectile
dysfunction could have underlying cardiovascular disease (from diabetes,
hypertension, and others). Consumers with diabetes, hypertension, high
cholesterol or heart disease often take nitrates; concomitant use of nitrates
and PDE5 inhibitors can lead to fatal cardiovascular collapse.”

1/3 of FDA Approved Drugs Recalled From 2001 and 2010
About a third of the drugs the FDA approved between 2001 and 2010 were
involved in some kind of safety event after reaching the market, according
to a 2017 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Additional conclusions to the study found that:
- 222 novel therapeutics had been approved.
- There were 123 post-market safety events involving 71 products that required
FDA warning or recall action. - 3 were withdrawn while 61 received new boxed warnings and 59 required enhanced
safety communications.
To get FDA approval, the majority of the drugs with safety events were
trialed in 1,000 or fewer patients.
