The FDA issued letters to the drug makers this week, saying a commercial for Levitra, called "My Man" made unsubstantiated claims of superiority over their competitors products, such as Viagra.
The letter also said Bayer failed to disclose potential side effects and product information.
The 15 second commercial in question features a woman praising the erectile dysfunction drug by implying Levitra is the best drug for impotence. According to the FDA, making a claim that implies a satisfying sexual experience resulted from her partner's use of a drug represents an "unprovable claim."
