In another case, a man in his 30s developed Cushing’s syndrome, a serious steroid-induced condition with characteristics such as weight gain and a “moon face” appearance, after taking DND Rx9 for several months for gout.
It is a weight loss medicine that was banned in Singapore in 2010 due to an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Other serious health consequences include psychosis and hallucinations. While people who have consumed DND Rx9 should see a doctor as soon as possible because the product contains potent steroids.Sexual enhancement supplements account for 39% of $640k in illegal health products seized in 2022
