Magic Power Coffee: Undeclared Drug Ingredient

Audience: Consumers, Family Practice

ISSUE: Magic Power Coffee, an instant coffee product marketed as a dietary supplement for sexual enhancement, contains the drug ingredient hydroxythiohomosildenafil, a chemical similar to sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra.

FDA is warning consumers not to use this product.

BACKGROUND: The product is distributed on Internet sites and online auctions by multiple independent distributors participating in an online multi-level marketing scheme. It is sold in a 2-serving box and a 12-serving carton containing six 2-serving boxes.

FDA RECOMMENDATION: Consumers who have Magic Power Coffee should stop using it immediately. The FDA advises consumers who have experienced any negative side effects from sexual enhancement products to consult a health care professional and to safely discard the product.
