Lightning Rod capsules are sold nationwide over the counter and via the Internet as a dietary supplement marketed for male sexual enhancement.
Chang Kwung is conducting a voluntary recall after being notified by the US FDA that analytical testing found the Lightning Rod Capsules to contain an analogue of Sildenafil. Sildenafil is the active ingredient in an FDA-approved drug used for the treatment of male Erectile Dysfunction (ED), making Lightning Rod Capsules an unapproved new drug. The active drug ingredient is not listed on the label for this product. Use of this product 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 with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates. ED is a common problem in men with these conditions, and consumers may seek these types of products to enhance sexual performance. To date, the firm has not received any reports of adverse events related to this recall or is aware of any illnesses associated with this product.
Chang Kwung Inc. advises any customer in possession of Lightning Rod Capsules matching the description above, return any unused product, for a full refund, to the company directly. Consumers with questions regarding this recall can call 747-444-1843, Monday through Friday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM PST, for instructions on the return and refund process. Consumers should contact their physician or healthcare provider if they have experienced any problems that may be related to taking or using this product.
Any adverse reactions or quality problems experienced with the use of these products may be reported to the FDAs MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program either online, by regular mail or by fax.
