Company Announcement

MyNicNaxs, LLC, Deltona, FL is voluntarily recalling all lots of dietary supplements distributed nationwide to the consumer level. The products have been found to contain undeclared active pharmaceutical ingredients (API)The presence of Sildenafil, Sibutramine, Diclofenac and/or Phenolphthalein in the dietary supplements renders it an unapproved drug for which safety and efficacy have not been established and, therefore, subject to recall. These products were distributed from January 2013, to December 2017, though our website http://www.mynicnaxs.com. The undeclared drug ingredients found in these products may pose serious health risks because consumers with underlying medical issues may take them without knowing that they can cause serious harm or interact in dangerous ways with other drugs they may be taking. API found in FDA samples include the following:

Sibutramine is the active pharmaceutical ingredient in Meridia, a new drug approved by FDA for marketing in 1997 for prescription treatment of obesity and, subsequently, withdrawn from the U.S. market on December 21, 2010, after clinical data indicated Sibutramine poses an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

Phenolphthalein is a known carcinogen (cancer causing agent) that was once an ingredient used in over-the-counter laxatives but is no longer approved for marketing in the United States.

Sildenafil is the active pharmaceutical ingredient in Viagra (PDE-5 inhibitor), a drug approved by FDA for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. PDE-5 inhibitors 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 nitrates.

Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) found in FDA-approved drugs that are used to treat pain and inflammation associated with several conditions. NSAIDs could lead to serious gastrointestinal (GI) adverse events such as bleeding, ulceration, and fatal perforation of the stomach and intestines. Patients who are already taking medication that could cause bleeding may increase their risk for bleeding significantly.
