FDA Warns About Actra Rx (Yilishen) Posibble Threats

January 2005, - Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the governmental institution to safeguard the safety and quality of food and medicines in the United States of America, warns about the hidden threats with so called “dietary supplements” Actra Rx or Yilishen. These products, promoted in the Internet as the 100% natural and safe pills for enhancing the sexual performance of men, have not been approved by FDA as the drug for treating the Male Erectile Dysfunction (ED).

According to the results of laboratory testing made by FDA, Actra Rx do contain a dose of sildenafil in spite of the advertising as the 100% natural product. Sildenafil is the main component of Viagra, the Pfizer product for treating the Erectile Dysfunction in men. The point is that Viagra is among three approved by FDA pills to treat the ED, but patients need medical prescription to buy these pills. Promoting Actra Rx as the natural dietary supplement requiring no prescription, web sites give the false information to potential customers, what can lead to serious health problems after buying and taking such pills.

According to FDA, there are two main problems with Actra Rx or Yilishen. First, people, buying them online without consulting the doctor, will never know for sure what are the components of these pills and how will they affect their health. Second, sildenafil, as the key component of Actra Rx, can cause serious side effects, especially when taken in combination with nitrate containing drugs.

Actually nitrates are the components of many drugs for treating the angina, hearth disease and diabetes. When they are taken simultaneously with sildenafil, it may lead to significant decrease of blood pressure even to the life-threatening level. That is why Viagra is available only with the prescription from doctor, who will check that it will not harm the health of patient.

Actually Actra Rx or Yilishen is not the only pills, promoted on-line as the best mean to return the men’s strength and guarantying the rock-heard erection and paradise satisfaction to both of partners. FDA periodically warns people about the potential risk to the health from such “medicines” and asks men with sex problems to consult a doctor at first. Surely it is the matter of personal concern what to choose - the traditional medicine or alternative (folk) medicine to restore the health, but the only thing to remember should be “health is easier to destroy than to restore”.

Even simple checking the information given by on-line shops can help to decide whether it is worthy to buy certain pill or not. Thus, requesting “yilishen” in Google search engine, we received mostly links with warns from FDA and other official medical resources. Finding the information about the actual components of Actra Rx, its producer etc appeared to be the mission impossible.
