Erectile Dysfunction Drugs Found in E-Liquids

Consumers of e-cigarettes should avoid using two types of e-liquids when vaping, according to a recent statement from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). 

After analyzing the products, the FDA discovered undeclared erectile dysfunction (ED) drugs in E-Cialis HelloCig E-Liquid and E-Rimonabant HelloCig E-Liquid. 

The drugs were not included in either product's list of ingredients. 

ED drugs help men with erection difficulties by allowing more blood to flow into the penis. However, they are available only by prescription and are not safe for everyone. 

People who take medications containing nitrates should never take ED drugs, as the interaction can cause blood pressure to drop to a dangerous level.

In a study of 60 women, researchers found that breast cancer survivors were more likely to have sexual problems compared to women with no breast cancer history. 

In addition, phobic anxiety was associated with poorer sexual function in the survivors group.
