According to FDA, the following enlisted drugs have been banned from marketing, sale and distribution hence advises the general public to stay away from them to prevent suffering severe health complications.

The banned substances include Rockman Capsules manufactured by Rockman Capsules Limited, Mars for men imported by Joe D. Ventures, Tinatett Be4 Be4 herbal capsules manufactured by Tinatett Herbal manufacturing and Marketing Company limited.

Others are Angel Natural Capsules manufactured by Dependable Pharmacy limited, Laud P Capsules manufactured by Dependable Pharmacy Ltd and Laud P. Capsules manufactured by Stephen Gyan Herbal Centre.

The enlisted drugs which is meant for male vitality and treatment of erectile dysfunction allegedly contain a poisonous chemical called Vardenafil which has the potential of causing severe health complications such as bleeding in the brain, heart attack, kidney disease, hearing and issues with sight, a statement by the Chief Executive of FDA, Hudu Magtari says.

The general public is therefore advised not to patronize the above-listed medicines

The sale of “poisonous drugs” on the market, the statement says remains one of the major challenges for the FDA especially when most of these off-the-counter drugs just do not have the right approval from the FDA.
