Intelli Health Products, Issues an Expansion to All Lots of their Voluntary Nationwide Recall of Duro Extend Capsules for Men Marketed as Dietary Supplements
December 2, 2010 – Intelli Health Products announced today that it is expanding their voluntary nationwide recall ofDuro Extend Capsules For Men, to include all lot codes. Intelli Health Products is conducting this recall after being informed by representatives of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that laboratory analysis of Duro Extend Capsules For Men found the product to be adulterated with Sulfoaidenafil, an analogue of Sildenafil which is an FDA approved drug used in the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction (ED), making it an unapproved new drug.

Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates. ED is a common problem in men with these conditions, and consumers may seek these types of products to enhance sexual performance.
Duro Extend Capsules are sold nationwide.
