WeFun contains hidden drug ingredient

[9/6/2023] WEFUN Inc voluntarily recalled 300 Boxes of WEFUN on August 25, 2023. Consumers should not use the recalled WEFUN capsules and return them to the store where the product was purchased.


[8-22-2023] The Food and Drug Administration is advising consumers not to purchase or use WeFun, a product promoted and sold as an energy and performance booster on various websites, including www.amazon.com and www.eshoponlineusa.com, and possibly in some retail stores.

WeFun

FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that WeFun contains sildenafil, the active ingredient in the FDA-approved prescription drug Viagra, used to treat erectile dysfunction. FDA approval of Viagra is restricted to use under the supervision of a licensed healthcare professional. This undeclared ingredient may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs, such as nitroglycerin, and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. People with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates.

Healthcare professionals and consumers should report adverse events or side effects related to the use of this product to FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program:

Note: This notification is to inform the public of products marketed as dietary supplements or conventional foods with hidden drug ingredients and chemicals. These products are typically promoted for sexual enhancement, weight loss, and body building and are often represented as being “all natural.” FDA is unable to test and identify all products marketed as dietary supplements that have potentially harmful hidden ingredients. Consumers should exercise caution before purchasing any product in the above categories.
