What is Sulfoaildenafil, and why is it dangerous?

Sulfoaildenafil (thioaildenafil) is a synthetic chemical compound that is structurally identical to sildenafil, the active ingredient found in Viagra. It was first synthesized in 2005, and has yet to be approved by any health regulation agency. Like sildenafil, sulfoaildenafil is classified as a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor drug. Sulfoaildenafil and other similar analogues have been found in a variety of over-the-counter (OTC) ‘natural’ and ‘herbal’ sexual enhancement products. Many in the medical community believe that including these products as adulterants in OTC herbal aphrodisiacs and dietary supplements is an attempt to avoid both the legal restrictions on the sale of erectile dysfunction (ED) drugs – which are available by prescription only in the United States – as well as the patent protection which prevents the sale of these medications by competitors except under license to their inventors.

To date, sulfoaildenafil has undergone no formal testing in either humans or animals, and as such represents a serious health risk to consumers due to its unknown safety profile. A number of attempts at banning sulfoaildenafil and its analogues as unlicensed medications have been made, but progress has been slow due to the fact that most laws targeting designer drugs are drafted to ban analogues of illegal drugs of abuse rather than analogues of prescription medications. However, as of this writing, at least one federal court case has resulted in a sulfoaildenafil analogue drug being taken off the market.

In December 2010, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) issued a press release warning the public about these products, stating, “The FDA has found many products marketed as dietary supplements for sexual enhancement during the past several years that can be harmful because they contain active ingredients in FDA-approved drugs or variations of these ingredients.”

Sulfoaildenafil may interact with nitrates found in certain prescription drugs such as nitroglycerin. Individuals with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or heart disease may be at particular risk. Erectile dysfunction is a common issue in men with these conditions, and consumers may take products containing sulfoaildenafil to enhance sexual performance.

Additionally, sulfoaildenafil can lower the blood pressure to dangerous levels if administered in too high doses or in combination with other drugs. Via Xtreme Ultimate Sexual Enhancer and other drugs for erectile dysfunction work by dilating blood vessels and increasing the flow of blood to the penis. The danger in taking sulfoaildenafil and drugs with similar action is that dilation of blood vessels leads to lowered blood pressure. In the event of any adverse side effects due to the consumption of this product, consumers should contact a physician immediately.
