Public Notification: Poseidon Platinum 10000 contains hidden drug ingredient

[06-15-2021] Update: FDA attempted several times to contact co.america to discuss how the company can protect consumers from these dangerous products. This product was sold by co.america via eBay.


[12-17-2020] The Food and Drug Administration is advising consumers not to purchase or use Poseidon Platinum 10000, a product promoted and sold for sexual enhancement on various websites and possibly in some retail stores.

Poseidon Platinum 10000

FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that Poseidon Platinum 10000 purchased from eBay.com contains vardenafil, the active ingredient in Levitra, an FDA-approved prescription drug for erectile dysfunction. FDA approval of Levitra is restricted to use under the supervision of a licensed health care professional. This undeclared ingredient may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs, such as nitroglycerin, and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. People with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates.

Health care professionals and patients are encouraged to report adverse events or side effects related to the use of this product to the FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program:

Note: This notification is to inform the public of a growing trend of dietary supplements or conventional foods with hidden drugs and chemicals. These products are typically promoted for sexual enhancement, weight loss, and body building and are often represented as being “all natural.” FDA is unable to test and identify all products marketed as dietary supplements that have potentially harmful hidden ingredients. Consumers should exercise caution before purchasing any product in the above categories.
