Safety Report: Sustain and Schwinnng male enhancement capsules - recalled due to undeclared Tadalafil and Nortadalafil, USA

United States

“Today The World” is voluntarily recalling two lots of Sustain herbal dietary supplement capsules and one lot of Schwinnng capsules to the consumer level. FDA analysis has found the products to contain undeclared Tadalafil and Nortadalafil. Products were distributed online nationwide in the USA. To date, no adverse events have been reported.

Tadalafil and Nortadalafil (structurally similar to Tadalafil) are active drug ingredients known for treatment of male erectile dysfunction. The presence of Tadalafil and Nortadalafil in Sustain capsules and Schwinnng capsules makes them unapproved new drugs for which the safety and efficacy have not been established and, therefore subject to recall.

Risk Statement: Consumption of products with undeclared tadalafil or nortadalafil may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and may cause a significant drop in blood pressure that may be life-threatening. People with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates. Among the adult male population, who are most likely to use this product, adult males who use nitrates for cardiac conditions are most at risk.

These tainted products are marketed as dietary supplements for male sexual enhancement and are packaged and coded as follows:
SUSTAIN: BTH: 230551 having EXP:12.05.2026, BTH: 230571 having EXP: 14.05.2026 SCHWINNNG Lot 2108 having EXP 10/2024.

The World is notifying its customers by this press announcement of this recall release and is arranging for return/replacement etc. of all recalled products. Consumers that have Sustain or Schwinnng which is being recalled should stop using and return if desired to Today The World. The Sustain and Schwinnng products must include the blister pack foil (with any pills remaining) containing all lot codes and receipt of proof of purchase, and your return address.

Consumers should contact their physician or healthcare provider if they have experienced any problems that may be related to taking or using this drug product.

In case you experienced harm from allergens or undeclared ingredients, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve issues and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
