EG Labs, LLC, announced today that it is conducting a nationwide voluntary recall of all lots of its supplement product sold under the brand name, Viapro, in 375mg capsules. This product is marketed as an alternative to Viagra, which is only available with a prescription.

This recall is being issued after the company was told by the FDA that lab analysis by FDA of a sample from one lot of the product revealed that it contained a potentially harmful undeclared ingredient, thio-methisosildenafil. FDA asserts that this ingredient is an analog of sildenafil. Sildenafil is the active chemical ingredient of an FDA-approved drug used for Erectile Dysfunction (ED) in men to enhance sexual performance.

The FDA has requested that any adverse events that may be related to the use of this product be reported to the FDA’s MedWatch Program by phone at 1-800-FDA-1088 or by fax at 1-800-FDA-0178 or by mail at MedWatch, HF-2, FDA, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20852-9787.

If you or someone you know has suffered an adverse event, you should contact the FDA and/or visit our firm's web site: http://www.injuryboard.com/firms/Florida/Tallahassee/Smith--Vanture-LLP/ or call our offices at (866) 735-1102 ext. 515.
