The presence of tadalafil in The Red Pill makes this product an unapproved drug for which the safety and efficacy has not been established and therefore, subject to recall.

Consumers with underlying medical issues who take The Red Pill with undeclared tadalafil may experience serious health risks.

For example, PDE-5 inhibitors may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) lowering blood pressure to dangerous levels that may be life-threatening. Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease often take nitrates.

To date, Your Favorite Shop has not received any reports of adverse events related to this recall.
