I've never seen these supplements listed on Dr. Kolb's site, so I do not have any of them in my medicine cabinet. But who in the world would know that one of the chemicals listed in for "erectile dysfunction"?? Not many of us are chemists --or have the medical knowlege to know what all the chemicals listed are..Carolyn=============Date: Tue, 4 Mar 2008 14:51:42 -0600 (CST)From: "U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA)" <fda@...>Subject: FDA MedWatch -Aspire36 and Aspire Lite -Nationwide Recall Of Dietary Supplements Because Products Contained an Analog Of Sildenafilcarwol@...MedWatch logo MedWatch - The FDA Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program Palo Alto Labs and FDA notified consumers and healthcare professionals of a voluntary nationwide recall of two dietary supplements, Aspire36 and Aspire Lite. The products were recalled because they were found to contain Aildenafil in trace amounts and Dimethyl sildenafil thione, an analog of Sildenafil, a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction. The presence of these ingredients in the dietary supplements may pose a threat to consumers because the analogue may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Consumers who have Aspire36 and Aspire Lite in their possession should stop using the products and return any unused product to the place of purchase.
