In today’s consumer climate, no one can be too careful when it comes to anything that they choose to put into their bodies. We’ve all heard the news regarding drugs that have been recalled both voluntarily and by the FDA, and these drugs have been both prescription and over-the-counter medications. In recent days, another “drug” was recalled, and this one was Zencore Tabs, a product manufactured and distributed by Bodee, LLC. Below is a brief look at the drug and what led to its recall. In the meantime, if you have been harmed as a result of using this product, contact an experienced recall attorney immediately to schedule an initial consultation.
Zencore Tabs are marketed mostly in health food stores around the United States and in Canada, and they are used and branded as a dietary supplement. Generally, the product is sold in a package of two-tablet packets, and there are five packets in a package. Zencore Tabs may be intended to be a dietary supplement, but several Web sites searched also show that the product is marketed as a performance enhancer for the male sexual function.
Recently, the FDA released the results of the analysis it performed on the product, and needless to say, these results were not positive in nature. Below is the specific language used on the press release distributed by the FDA recently:
“…lab analysis by FDA of Zencore Tabs samples found the product contains potentially harmful, undeclared ingredients. FDA asserts that its chemical analysis revealed that one lot of Zencore Tabs contains aminotadalafil, an analog of tadalafil, the active ingredient of a FDA-approved drug used for Erectile Dysfunction (ED). FDA maintains Aminotadalafil is close in structure to tadalafil and is expected to possess a similar pharmacological and adverse event profile. Further, FDA declares another lot of Zencore Tabs contains sildenafil, the active ingredient of another FDA-approved drug used for ED, as well as sulfosildenafil and sulfohomosildenafil, both are analogs of sildenafil. All of these undeclared chemicals pose a threat to consumers because they may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels.”
In plain English, Zencore Tabs could pose a significant risk to those people who are already taking medication for such conditions as high blood pressure or heart-related problems. If you have suffered as a result of using Zencore Tabs, please contact an attorney immediately to begin the process of protecting and enforcing your rights.
