they were laced with counterfeit versions of Cialis and Viagra

A report by the health authorities in Singapore has warned about the dangers of using “off-label” drugs to enhance sexual performance in men. They have based their evidence on the fact that 149 men and one woman were admitted into hospital in Singapore in a period of five months last year suffering from severe hypoglycemia which is normally associated with diabetics.

The report explains that some erectile dysfunction medications that contained the active ingredients of Viagra, Cialis and Levitra but also had glyburide, caused prolonged neuroglycopenia in some of the men and four of them subsequently died with three remaining in comas. The men admitted to hospital ranged in age between 19 and 97 years old.

Only 30 percent of the men admitted to using the illegal sexual performance enhancing drugs but it is likely that they all used them and did not respond honestly to questions out of embarrassment or fear of prosecution.

Clinical testing on the drugs that some of the men admitted to using saw that they were laced with counterfeit versions of Cialis and Viagra. The products had names which we have come across previously at Ukmedix News such as Santi Bovine Penis Erecting Capsule, Power 1 Walnut and others which we have not seen before such as Zhong Hua Niu Bian.

Incredibly two of the products even had small amounts of sibutramine which is the active ingredient of the weight loss medication Reductil which highlights that these illegal erectile dysfunction medications are just a cocktail of prescription medications made with no regard whatsoever for the patient.

The Singapore authorities also said that the packaging had the names of nonexistent manufacturing plants and therefore they could not determine whether the contamination of the erectile dysfunction medications with a powerful prescription appetite suppressant was deliberate or accidental.

Whatever the case men must be aware that if they use anything for erectile dysfunction which is not prescribed by doctor they are putting their health at risk and could end up in hospital or even dead like some of the other unfortunate men in Singapore.
