Sulfoaildenafil
Sulfoaildenafil is a synthetic chemical compound that is structurally similar to sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra. It is classified as a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor, which means it works by relaxing muscles and increasing blood flow to particular areas of the body. Sulfoaildenafil is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is considered an illegal substance in many countries.
History[edit | edit source]
Sulfoaildenafil was first identified in 2005 during routine screening of imported dietary supplements by the FDA. It has since been found in numerous over-the-counter "natural" sexual enhancement products.
Health Risks[edit | edit source]
The use of sulfoaildenafil poses significant health risks, particularly to individuals with heart conditions. It can 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.
Legal Status[edit | edit source]
In the United States, sulfoaildenafil is considered an illegal substance and is not approved for use in any type of dietary supplement or medication. The FDA has issued numerous warnings and recalls for products found to contain sulfoaildenafil.
