SINGAPORE:"Potent medicinal ingredients" that can cause serious adverse effects in consumers have been detected in two products, said the Health Sciences Authority on Wednesday .

HSA has worked with the platforms to remove the affected listings and has issued warnings to the sellers, the authority said. HSA tested the product and found that it contained more than 60 times the usual dose of tadalafil, a prescription medicine used to treat erectile dysfunction. "The lack of proper instructions on how to take the product, absence of manufacturing information, and the misleading marketing claims were revealing signs that this product was not sold by a reliable source," said HSA.

It can also cause serious heart problems and central nervous system disorders including psychosis and hallucinations.
