FDA Public Notification: Best Candy contains hidden drug ingredient

FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that Best Candy contains nortadalafil. Nortadalafil is structurally similar to tadalafil, the active ingredient in Cialis, an FDA-approved prescription drug for erectile dysfunction. This undeclared ingredient may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs, such as nitroglycerin, and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. People with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates.
