Distributed by Best Life International, Viga and the dietary supplement pills, Viga for Women, were sold over the counter until 2003. Viga was a supplement that was designed to increase confidence, desire, and sexual performance. However, in 2003 FDA investigators found that these tablets contained an unlabelled prescription-only drug ingredient, sildenafil, which was linked to deadly or serious side effects. As these tablets were non-regulated and sold over the counter, the FDA took immediate action, and the distributors of Viga, Best Life International, voluntarily withdrew the tablet from the US market.

As there was no mention of this ingredient on Viga packaging, many consumers unknowingly risked their health by taking this supplement. The highest risk was thought to be to those on certain other medications, such as nitrate users. Because of the presence of sildenafil, these tablets could lower blood pressure in some consumers to highly dangerous and lethal levels.
Other people that may have obliviously put themselves at risk were those that suffered erection problems due to some underlying problem, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, and heart disease. All of these groups may have been on other medication that risked serious reactive side effects with the unlabelled ingredient in Viga. Although over the counter supplements are not usually recalled because they are not actually drugs, the illegally used sildenafil in Viga made this case unique. Because the tablets were being manufactured and distributed illegally due to the deadly ingredient that they contained, the FDA did have jurisdiction over their recall.
Although these tablets were recalled, many people had already been taking them. Of course, they would not have received any information to advise them not to take them, because these tablets were freely available over the counter and the Internet. And, because the distributor placed no warning on the packaging and no listing of the dangerous ingredient contained in the tablets, consumers were able to buy and take them freely.
