The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued Warning Letters to six U.S companies for marketing unapproved and misbranded drug that are being sold over the internet claiming to prevent and treat sexually transmitted diseases.
The products are sold as Tetrasil, Genisil, Aviralex, OXi-MED, Imulux, Beta-mannan, Micronutrient, Qina, and SlicPlus and some claim to have "FDA Approval" or claim to be more effective that standard medication.
"The products pose a serious health threat to unsuspecting consumers who don’t know that these products are not FDA approved and have not been proven safe or effective," said Janet Woodcock, M.D., deputy commissioner for scientific and medical programs, chief medical officer, and acting director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. "STDs are very serious diseases and these products give consumers a false sense of security that they are protected from STDs."
The FDA states that any consumers who are currently using any of the products to stop immediately and should contact their heal care provider should they experience any negative side effects that may be related to the use of the products.
