The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) advises that the product marketed as Chao Jimengnan 'SuperPowerful Man' tablets poses a potentially serious health risk to consumers.
TGA laboratory analysis has detected the presence of the prescription-only ingredients sulfosildenafil and tadalafil. The amounts of the prescription-only ingredients are significant and may cause severe side effects.
People who take 'SuperPowerful Man' tablets may have a drop in their blood pressure, which may cause:
- dizziness
- fainting
- collapse
These effects may be greater in those consumers taking medication for:
- angina

Consequently, the TGA has ordered the supplier of this product in Australia, JT Publishing Australia Pty Ltd, to recall this medicine from the Australian market.
