FDA Warns Public Against Buying 'True Man', 'Energy Max' Drugs

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is asking people not to use "True Man" or "Energy Max" products sold as dietary supplements throughout the U.S. These drugs, which are advertised as sexual enhancement products and as remedy for erectile dysfunction (ED), are illegal drugs that contain potentially harmful and undeclared ingredients.

Steven Galson, M.D., MPH, director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, has said that these drugs put the health of people at risk and that they are made of undeclared chemicals that are similar to the active ingredients used in FDA-approved prescription drug products. The risk is even more as people will not know that these ingredients can interact with medications and dangerously lower their blood pressure (BP).

The FDA has even asked to report any adverse events related to these products to MedWatch, the FDA's voluntary reporting program. These products have substances called analogs that have similar structures to active ingredients in approved prescription drugs.

FDA has asked men with ED to seek guidance from a health care professional and to stop using “True Man” and “Energy Max”. It further said that it has not approved True Man and Energy Max that are advertise as "all natural" alternatives to approved ED drugs.

The ingredients used in True Man and Energy Max may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs such as nitroglycerin and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Nitrates are often taken by men with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or heart ailments.
