Health Canada is warning consumers not to use Virility for Men (Yi Li Xiao capsule), as it may pose serious health risks.
Health Canada stated in a media release that Virility for Men (Yi Li Xiao Capsule) contains an undeclared prescription drug and poses serious health risks.
The product had been authorized as a natural health product intended to enhance physical capacity and performance (in cases of physical stress), but recent testing by Health Canada’s laboratory revealed that it contains tadalafil, a prescription drug used to treat erectile dysfunction, which was not listed on the product label.
Tadalafil is a prescription medication that should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
People taking nitrate-based medications (e.g., nitroglycerin) should not take tadalafil, as it may cause life-threatening low blood pressure.
Individuals with heart conditions may face cardiovascular side effects such as heart attack, stroke, chest pain, high blood pressure, and abnormal heart rhythms.
Other potential side effects include headaches, flushing, indigestion, dizziness, vision disturbances, and hearing loss.
Natural health products must not contain prescription drugs. Prescription medications should only be taken under the guidance and supervision of a healthcare professional, as they are intended to treat specific conditions and may cause serious side effects.
Health Canada has suspended the product license for Virility for Men (Yi Li Xiao capsule, NPN 80083930), and the license holder, Yexin Likang International Health Inc., is recalling the product.
Health Canada is monitoring the impact of the company’s recall and will take appropriate action in a timely manner if new health risks are identified.
