Plain-English summary

A&H Focal Inc. is recalling Clalis capsules, 50mg, 6-count bottles. The product labeling is in a foreign language. The recall covers all lots of the product.

The FDA determined that the capsules contain sildenafil, a drug approved for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Because the product was marketed without an approved New Drug Application (NDA) or Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA), it is considered an unapproved drug. The safety and efficacy of these specific capsules have not been established by the FDA.

The product was distributed in New York and New Jersey through six retail stores named "Asian Food Markets." Consumers who possess these products should stop using them and contact the recalling firm or a healthcare provider for guidance.
