A warning was issued for a brand of men's energy pills after it was found they contain a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction.

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) issued the warning for HERO Instant Energy for Males capsules on Wednesday after discovering the drug Taladafil (or Cialis) was used as an undeclared ingredient.

The ingredient is used to treat erectile dysfunction but can interact with other prescription drugs and lower blood pressure to dangerous levels.

Taladafil is a Schedule 4 prescription only drug, meaning it is now illegal to sell or promote HERO Instant Energy in Australia. 

It is understood the energy capsules were sold online and imported to Australia but were not listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods.
