Zencore Maker Initiates Product Recall

CENTURY CITY, Calif.—Bodee LLC issued a national voluntary recall for its Zencore Plus men’s sexual health product, after FDA tests showed the product contains undeclared benzamidenafil. The ingredient is a PDE5 inhibitor, with similar pharmacological properties as drugs approved for treating erectile dysfunction (ED); use by men taking organic nitrates could suffer a life-threatening interaction between the compounds. Bodee found itself in a similar situation at the end of 2007, when it issued a voluntary recall for its Encore Tabs after FDA testing showed the presence of an analog of the ED drug tadalafil.

Questions regarding the recall can be addressed to Bodee at (800) 935-0296; adverse events can be reported to FDA via the MedWatch program.
