Adverse Event Reporting Program]

FDA notified consumers and healthcare professionals not to buy or use Super

Shangai, Strong Testis, Shangai Ultra, Shangai Ultra X, Lady Shangai, and

Shangai Regular (also known as Shangai Chaojimengnan) products. The products

are marketed as dietary supplements and used for the treatment of erectile

dysfunction (ED) and for sexual enhancement. The products do not qualify as

dietary supplements because they contain undeclared active ingredients

(sildenafil or an analog of sildenafil) of FDA-approved prescription drugs

for ED. The products are thus drugs that are illegal because they lack FDA

approval. Additionally, because the manufacturing source of the active

ingredients in these products is unknown, consumers should be aware that the

safety, efficacy, and purity of the ingredients can not be validated.

The undeclared ingredients in the referenced products may interact with

nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and can

lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Consumers with diabetes, high

blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take products

containing nitrates. Consumers who have these products should discontinue

using them and consult their healthcare professional.
