The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers that "Stiff Nights," a product marketed as a dietary supplement for sexual enhancement, contains an ingredient that can dangerously lower blood pressure and is illegal.
Following a consumer complaint, the FDA determined that Stiff Nights contains sulfoaildenafil. This is a chemical similar to sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra. Sulfoaildenafil may interact with the prescription drugs nitrates, including nitroglycerin, and cause dangerously low blood pressure.
