The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has tested a product labelled ViaGro 500mg Male Enhancement capsules and found that:
- the capsules contain the undeclared substances theophylline and caffeine.
Consumers are advised that theophylline is a prescription only medicine in Australia and prescribed as a bronchodilator.
The supply of ViaGro 500mg Male Enhancement capsules containing undisclosed theophylline and caffeine is illegal.
ViaGro 500mg Male Enhancement capsules have not been assessed by the TGA for quality, safety or efficacy as required under Australian legislation, and the place of manufacture is not approved by the TGA.

Action the TGA is taking

- may contain undisclosed and potentially harmful ingredients
- may not meet the same standards of quality, safety and efficacy as those approved by the TGA for supply in Australia.
