Sex drug warning

Weekend Warrior has many side effects
Weekend Warrior has many side effects

The Ministry of Health (MOH) has issued a warning to Dominicans of the adverse effects of a sexual enhancement drug being sold on various websites on the internet.

This after the US Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) issued a statement on the drug, named Weekend Warrior, advising consumers not to purchase or use it.

“FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that Weekend Warrior contains thiosildenafil, a substance structurally similar to the active ingredient in the FDA approved prescription drug Viagra, used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED),” the MOH said in a statement. “This undeclared ingredient may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs such as nitroglycerin and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels.”

The statement said possible negative side effects of Weekend Warrior may include dizziness, fainting and even heart attack or stroke.

Men with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease are to be on the lookout since they often take nitrates, according to the MOH.

“The Ministry of Health is therefore advising the general public to take the necessary measures and stop using this product immediately, and throw it away,” the statement said. “Persons who have experienced any negative side effects should consult their health care provider or the nearest Health Centre as soon as possible.”

      You are doing well to take herbs and organic foods for your health I am not one who is too enthused about “organic”. Consider how many people who lived to be a healthy and ripe old age without organic foods which were not heard of in those days. Some are still alive.
      However the FDA – The Food and Drug Administration is not selling to anyone, not stealing from them and deceiving them. They are warning the public not to take the drug. They may test it to ensure its health safety but this is all they do.
      The FDA is the government. If the findings are such that this drug poses a health hazard, they are within their right to protect the public from possible illness and death. It is for the benefit of all. Better to be warned, to be safe than sorry.

    Alcohol and Smoking of any type can definitely cause reduce ability to “go again”… good diet and exercise increases that ability… no need to use these things with side effects

    By providing a link to the site, are you not “promoting” something which is being discouraged? If a link to more information about the drug is provided that’s okay, but a link to a site where it’s is sold? Just a question.

      I agree with you there. Admin: please remove the website where people can purchase this poison. Replace it with a website that shares the FDA’s report (or with nothing at all… it is up to you.)

      @ Cialis..Why are we Dominicans so ignorant? Do you know what can happen to you if you are using any of these Nitrates along with one of these so called Male enhance drug? There are so many people around the world whose blood pressure bottomed out after taking their meds and then using one of these drugs. The FDA is helping save ignoramus people like you who do not know your nose or elbow regarding these drugs because if you knew you would not make such a stupid comment..
