SINGAPORE : The Health Sciences Authority (HSA), together with the police, have seized some 36,000 illegal sexual enhancement pills in a raid at Desker Road on Wednesday evening.
They included 'Power 1 Walnut', which has so far caused six people to develop very low blood sugar levels - a condition known as hypoglycaemia.
One of them is critically ill and under close observation in a hospital. Another five cases are pending confirmation.
If untreated in time, hypoglycaemia could lead to unconsciousness, seizures and sometimes death.
'Power 1 Walnut' contains two potent ingredients - glibenclamide and sildenafil. These are prescription medicines used for treating diabetes and impotency respectively.
Anyone found selling products containing these drugs may be fined a maximum of S$10,000 and jailed for up to two years under the Poisons Act. - CNA /ls
