AvKare, a pharmaceutical distribution company, has announced a recall of drugs for the treatment of impotence and depression that were mistakenly packed in the same container when packaged.
This can lead to a person intending to ease their depression symptoms to find that the pills they take will cause them to get an erection. But the complications of such a substitution can be more serious. Sildenafil, the active ingredient in the impotence drug Viagra, can cause blood pressure to drop to dangerous levels in those taking medications containing nitrates. And trazodone, used to treat severe depression, can cause lethargy, dizziness, constipation, and blurred vision.
“These negative consequences are especially dangerous for elderly patients, who, because of them, may increase the risk of falls or accidents while driving,” the company said in a press release. Both drugs can be returned to the company, which will refund the money spent on their purchase. To do this, you need to contact the company by phone 1-855-361-3993 or online on the website customerservice@avkare.com.
