In a laboratory analysis, the FDA found that “E-Cialis HelloCig E-Liquid” contained both sildenafil and tadalafil, and that “E-Rimonabant HelloCig E-Liquid” contained sildenafil. Sildenafil and tadalafil are approved for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Unapproved usage of these drugs in over-the-counter e-liquids is therefore illegal.

Therefore, FDA urges consumers to stop using these products and to contact their health care professional with any concerns associated with their use,” the FDA said in the press release.
