FDA Tainted Sexual-Enhancement Products Dataset: 432 Products the FDA Found Hidden Drugs In

The FDA maintains a running list of sexual-enhancement and energy products its lab has tested and found to contain an undeclared drug ingredient — something not on the label, often a prescription-strength dose of a PDE5 inhibitor like sildenafil (Viagra) or tadalafil (Cialis), sometimes something more dangerous. This page is that list, scraped from fda.gov and turned into a table you can search, sort by date, and download. The supplement checker is the readable version: type a product name and see if it’s here.

432 products

flagged since the FDA’s earliest notification in this dataset (16 May 2012), through 15 September 2026. About three in four contained undeclared sildenafil; more than a third contained tadalafil, and some contained both plus other substances.

All 432 products

Sorted newest first. The ingredient column is FDA’s own wording from each notification, lightly cleaned for consistent formatting; nothing is inferred or guessed.

How we built this

We pulled every row from the FDA’s public notification table (a client-rendered list, no API or downloadable file provided), then opened each of the linked notification pages and extracted the sentence stating what FDA’s laboratory analysis found — the same sentence pattern FDA uses across the program (“FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that [product] contains [ingredient]”). Six of the oldest notifications (2018 and earlier) have since moved to web.archive.org; those were read and transcribed by hand rather than guessed at. Product names and ingredient names are FDA’s own; we did not rename, reclassify, or infer any hidden ingredient ourselves. A small number of listings for weight-loss-only and pain-relief-only products that the same FDA program also flags were excluded, to match this site’s sexual-enhancement scope; duplicate table rows pointing at the same underlying FDA notification were merged, keeping 432 unique products.

What this cannot tell you

This is a list of products FDA happened to test and publish, not a complete registry of contaminated supplements — FDA’s own disclaimer says the list “covers only a small fraction of the contaminated products on the market.” A product being absent doesn’t mean it’s safe, and a product being present doesn’t necessarily describe what’s on shelves today: brands get reformulated, relabeled, and resold under new names faster than any agency can test them. This also isn’t a verdict on any legitimate, properly labeled supplement — every product here was flagged specifically because it contained a drug ingredient it did not disclose. If you’re taking anything for sexual enhancement, the reliably safe options are the four FDA-approved prescription PDE5 inhibitors (see how they compare), used under a clinician’s guidance.
