Public Notification: “Silver sword” Contains Hidden Drug Ingredient

[6-27-2013] The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to purchase or use Silver sword, a product promoted and sold for sexual enhancement on various websites, including www.hardmenstore.com, and in some retail stores.

FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that Silver sword contains sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra, an FDA-approved prescription drug for erectile dysfunction (ED). This undeclared ingredient may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs, such as nitroglycerin, and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Men with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates.

Consumers should stop using this product immediately and throw it away. Consumers who have experienced any negative side effects should consult a health care professional as soon as possible.

But the website claims it's an all herbal ED supplement:
