The pills are also sold on eBay and Amazon. More than 25 different “Rhino” products - sold under names like “Platinum Rhino 25000,” “Krazzy Rhino 25000” and “Gold Rhino 25000” - have been identified as containing secret ingredients. Some cases resulted in “surgical intervention and hospitalization due to extreme drops in blood pressure,” the agency said.

Some of the hidden ingredients are similar to those found in prescription erectile dysfunction pills Viagra and Cialis.

The Food and Drug Administration has issued a stiff warning about a black-market male enhancement pill that causes prolonged erections.
