Blokes issued warning to stop taking ‘Big Penis’ pills to last longer in bed
An “all natural” penis-enhancing supplement designed to help lads last longer in bed has been reportedly banned.
Big Penis U.S.A has been banned in Australia after the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) issued a warning.
After testing the product, the TGA found the tablets contain the undeclared substances sildenafil and chloramphenicol.

Customers are advised sildenafil and chloramphenicol are prescription-only substances in Australia.

The healthcare watchdog discovered traces of sildenafil, a medicine designed to treat erectile disfunction.
Sildenafil is commonly sold under the brand name Viagra and is a chemical compound. Therefore it’s not “all natural”.
Although sildenafil isn’t a prohibited drug, it is prescription-only so can’t be obtained without the doctor’s permission.
As a result, the TGA issued an urgent alert to warn any men who may have purchased the Big Penis U.S.A tablets.
“Big Penis U.S.A tablets pose a serious risk to your health and should not be taken,” the healthcare watchdog warned.
“The supply of Big Penis U.S.A tablets containing undisclosed sildenafil is illegal.”

It also warned it may interact with nitrates found in some meds which could lower blood pressure to dangerous levels.
Nitrates are commonly found in medication for diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and heart disease.
The statement continued: “Sildenafil taken in combination with other medications can cause serious side effects.”
Sildenafil is a prescription-only substance in Australia and the US.
In the UK, men wishing to take the drug must either obtain them from a pharmacy or doctor’s prescription.
Like with any medication, people are urged to seek professional attention if they experience side effect.
The products are not sold in Australian stores – with those purchasing the pills over the internet, it has been reported.
Anyone with concerns is advised to make a report on 1800 020 653 or the TGA website.
