The agency recommends consumers search the FDA’s Tainted Products database to identify any harmful ingredients in a questionable product. Ashley, director of the Office of Compliance in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “We remain vigilant in our efforts to protect the American public from the sale of these potentially dangerous products,” said Donald D. However, the FDA cannot test and identify every product which is sold on the market and may contain undisclosed ingredients. The FDA has posted dozens of public warnings indicating recall announcements for the fraudulent products. They are marketed as dietary supplements, so consumers are unaware of the serious consequences when taken. The products are commonly sold at gas stations, conveniences stores, and are available online through Amazon and eBay. They are the same, or significantly similar, to drugs which should be given only through a prescription by a medical professional, not sold over-the-counter. Since 2007, the FDA identified 25 products marketed as variations of Rhino products that contain hidden, or undeclared ingredients. The ingredients in the products are often promoted by the manufacturer as a sexual enhancement product, a product for weight loss or bodybuilding, or sometimes as pain relief products. They can also interact with medications for diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease. These ingredients may also interact with nitrates found in some other prescription drugs, causing blood pressure to drop to dangerously low levels. The two drugs found in Rhino pills fall under a class of medications known as phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors, which can cause individuals to experience severe drops in blood pressure and are linked to significant safety issues and the risk of serious adverse events.

Therefore, the FDA considers Rhino pills misbranded and adulterated, since they have never been approved as a safe and effective drug. However, Rhino products are sold as dietary supplements and do not mention that they contain the drugs. The FDA has determined that Rhino products contain sildenafil or tadalafil, which are active ingredients in Viagra and Cialis prescription drugs for erectile dysfunction.
