Before You Buy Either Product
FDA public notices and recalls have identified undeclared sildenafil and tadalafil in multiple honey-based sexual-enhancement products. If you are considering one of these products, check the exact brand, variant, UPC, and lot against the FDA alert archive. Hidden sildenafil and tadalafil can cause life-threatening interactions with nitrates and alpha-blockers.
