NAFDAC warns men against using recalled sex enhancement capsule

Nigerian men have been warned by the National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control against using PrimeZen Black 6000mg, a male performance enhancement capsule recently recalled from the market.

NAFDAC Director-General, Mojisola Adeyeye said Volt Candy, the pharmaceutical company that produced the drug is voluntarily recalling the PrimeZen Black 6000mg capsule alongside its 2000mg due to undeclared ingredients in it.

Adeyeye said;

“The recall followed the analysis of Food and Drug Agency (FDA) of the United States of America, an FDA, which found the PrimeZen capsules to contain undeclared 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 6000mg capsules renders them unapproved drugs for which safety and efficacy have not been established and, therefore, subject to recall.

“Risk Statement, 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.

“The product details are as follows; PrimeZEN Black 6000 male enhancement capsules, manufactured by Volt Candy, 324 S. Diamond Bar Blvd #212, USA.”

The lot Number: NPINPB 1003, UPC code: 728175521891, expiration date is Aug. 16, 2025 for PrimeZen Black 6000mg being marketed online as a dietary supplement for male enhancement and is packaged in a blister card with one capsule. The product can be identified by the card color in black with the name on it PrimeZen Black 6000.
