How to Report a Supplement Side Effect to the FDA
To report a supplement side effect to the FDA, stop taking the product, get medical care if you need it, then file a report through FDA's Safety Reporting Portal. Keep the bottle and note the lot number, what you took and when symptoms began. Reports help FDA spot problems after sale.

Step one01
What should you do first if a supplement makes you feel unwell?
Stop taking it and get care if the symptoms are serious.
The Stallion Power label says to discontinue use and consult your doctor if any adverse reactions occur. FDA gives the same first step for any supplement (FDA, How to Report a Problem with Dietary Supplements).
Some signs are an emergency. An erection lasting over four hours needs hospital care at once (NHS, Priapism). The signs below call for a doctor or an emergency call.
- Chest pain, fainting or a racing heartbeatStop and call 911. Do not wait to see if it passes.
- An erection lasting more than four hoursGo to an emergency room now. This needs urgent care to protect the penis.
- Dizzy or faint when you stand, especially on blood-pressure or nitrate medicineSit or lie down, stop the gummy and call your doctor before the next one.
- Rash, swelling or hivesStop. Trouble breathing or a swollen face or throat needs 911.
- Yellow skin or eyes, dark urine or belly painStop and call your doctor the same day. Liver problems have been reported with some herbal extracts.
- Cramps or loose stoolsSorbitol and the other ingredients can upset the stomach. Stop if it continues and ask your doctor.
Call 911For chest pain, trouble breathing, a swollen face or throat, or if someone passes out.

Where to report02
Where do you report a supplement side effect to the FDA?
Report it through FDA's Safety Reporting Portal, the online route FDA lists for supplement problems (FDA, How to Report a Problem with Dietary Supplements).
FDA does not approve supplements before sale, so reports from the public are one way it learns of problems later (FDA 101: Dietary Supplements). NIH also says to report bad reactions to FDA (NIH ODS, Dietary Supplements: What You Need To Know).
You do not need to prove the supplement caused the problem. A report records what happened and when.
Be ready03
What information should you have ready?
Have the product details, your timeline and your health details at hand.

|---|---|
| Product name and flavor | Front of the bottle |

| Dates | When you started, when symptoms began, when you stopped |

Who else should you tell?
Tell your doctor, who can treat the reaction and note it in your record.
Also tell the seller. Use the order desk on the contact page, not the website inbox, which cannot see orders. The label also lists a distributor.
If you take medicine, keep taking prescribed medicine as directed unless your doctor says otherwise. A supplement reaction is not a reason to stop a prescription on your own.
For more on warning signs, read the side effects page.
The point05
Why does reporting matter?
It gives FDA a record it can act on after a product is on the market.
FDA has found hidden drugs in products sold as male enhancement supplements (FDA, Tainted sexual enhancement products). We have not tested this gummy and no lab report is published. A report is how a reaction becomes visible.

FAQ06
Stallion Power questions people ask
Do I need a doctor's note to report a side effect?
No. Anyone can file through FDA's Safety Reporting Portal (FDA, How to Report a Problem with Dietary Supplements). Seeing a doctor first is wise if symptoms are serious, and your doctor can add detail to your account.
Should I keep taking the supplement while I report it?
No. Stop the product first, as FDA advises (FDA, How to Report a Problem with Dietary Supplements). The Stallion Power label also says to discontinue use and consult your doctor if any adverse reactions occur.
Will FDA contact me after I report?
FDA reviews reports to look for patterns, and it may not reply to each one. The report still helps. Keep your own notes and the bottle in case you are asked for details (FDA, How to Report a Problem with Dietary Supplements).
What counts as a side effect worth reporting?
Any unwanted reaction you suspect is linked to the supplement, from stomach upset to dizziness or a serious event. Report it even if you are unsure of the cause (FDA, How to Report a Problem with Dietary Supplements).
