This was disclosed in a public notice issued by the agency.
According to the regulator, the manufacturer, StuffbyNainax LLC, is voluntarily recalling all available lots of the product after an analysis found the capsules contained undeclared pharmaceutical ingredients.
According to the agency, the recall followed an analysis which found that MR.7 SUPER 700000 capsules contained sildenafil and tadalafil, substances commonly used in prescription medicines for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
NAFDAC explained that the presence of these substances makes the capsules unapproved drugs, since the product is marketed as a dietary supplement and its safety and efficacy have not been established.
NAFDAC noted that the substances may interact with nitrates used in certain prescription medicines, such as nitroglycerin, which are commonly prescribed for heart conditions.
The interaction could result in a dangerous drop in blood pressure, which may be life-threatening.
According to the agency, individuals with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease are particularly vulnerable because they often take nitrate-based medications
The agency provided the following details about the recalled product:
NAFDAC urged members of the public who have the product to stop selling or using it immediately and return it to the nearest NAFDAC office.
NAFDAC recently alerted Nigerians to a Notice of Concern issued by the World Health Organization’s Prequalification Service over four NAFDAC-registered diagnostic kits manufactured by Meril Diagnostics Pvt. Ltd in India after violations were identified during an audit of the company’s manufacturing facility.
The agency said that although the products were registered, they have not been imported into Nigeria and warned that if any of the devices are found in circulation in the country would be considered falsified and fraudulently imported.
Another is on the circulation of falsified Dostinex 0.5mg tablets in Nigeria. The legitimate product is registered but not yet imported, while the fake batches, GG3470, LG8659, and GG2440 have no NAFDAC registration and may be unsafe.
