TGA Safety Advisories - 'Superpowerful Man' tablets, Fu Yuan Chun, Satibo capsules
TGA laboratory analysis has detected the presence of prescription-only ingredients in these products, such as Tadalafil. These 'may be harmful if taken without the supervision of a medical professional, particularly in patients with a history of cardiovascular disease'. If you have any of these products 'you are advised to cease using them and discard any remaining product. If you have concerns arising from your use of this product you should consult your health care practitioner.' 'Consumers are again advised to exercise extreme caution about purchasing medicines from unknown overseas Internet sites. Products purchased in this way may not meet the same standards of quality, safety and efficacy as those approved by the TGA for supply in Australia, and may contain undisclosed and potentially harmful ingredients'. The Mayoclinic website advises that the presence of medical problems such as severe liver disease may affect the use of prescribed Tadalafil.
