Selected passages from the FDA letter
Quoted FDA text from the published dataset. These selected excerpts are not the complete letter.
Passage 1FDA confirmed through laboratory analyses that samples of your “VitalityXtra,”***1*** “PeakMax,”***2*** “ZapMax,”***3*** and “ZoomMax,”***4*** purchased from your before-noted websites, contain undeclared active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) sildenafil. Additionally, laboratory analyses identified the presence of undeclared API diclofenac in your “PeakMax,” “ZapMax, and “ZoomMax” products.
Passage 2The labeling for “VitalityXtra,” “PeakMax,” “ZapMax,” and “ZoomMax” products do not declare that the products contain a PDE-5 inhibitor or diclofenac. The failure to disclose these ingredients in the product labeling renders your “VitalityXtra,” “PeakMax,” “ZapMax” and “ZoomMax” products misbranded under section 502(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 352(a).
Passage 3Your “VitalityXtra,” “PeakMax,” “ZapMax,” and “ZoomMax” products, which contain undeclared sildenafil, are prescription drugs as defined in section 503(b)(1)(A) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 353(b)(1)(A), and as such, can be used safely only at the direction, and under the supervision, of a licensed practitioner. Therefore, it is impossible to write “adequate directions for use” for your “VitalityXtra,” “PeakMax,” “ZapMax,” and “ZoomMax” products such that a layperson can use the drugs safely for their intended uses.
Passage 4The undeclared active pharmaceutical ingredients in your products also causes these products to be misbranded under section 502(f)(2) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 352(f)(2), because their labeling lacks adequate warnings for the protection of users.
