Public Notificaton: “Ninja Mojo” Contains Hidden Drug Ingredient

[04-03-2013] The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to purchase or use “Ninja Mojo,” a product promoted and sold for sexual enhancement on various websites, and in some retail stores.

FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that “Ninja Mojo” contains tadalafil, the active ingredient in the FDA-approved prescription drug Cialis, used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED).  This undeclared ingredient may interact with nitrates, which are found in some prescription drugs, such as nitroglycerin.  This interaction may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels.  Men with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take prescription drugs that contain nitrates. 

Consumers should stop using this product immediately and throw it away.  Consumers who have experienced any negative side effects should consult a health care professional as soon as possible. 

Health care professionals and patients are encouraged to report adverse events or side effects related to the use of these products to the FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program:

  • Complete and submit the report Online: www.fda.gov/MedWatch/report.htm
  • Download form or call 1-800-332-1088 to request a reporting form, then complete and return to the address on the pre-addressed form, or submit by fax to 1-800-FDA-0178

Note: This notification is to inform the public of a growing trend of dietary supplements or conventional foods with hidden drugs and chemicals.  These products are typically promoted for sexual enhancement, weight loss, and body building, and are often represented as being “all natural.”  FDA is unable to test and identify all products marketed as dietary supplements on the market that have potentially harmful hidden ingredients.  Consumers should exercise caution before purchasing any product in the above categories.
