These 7 Ontario stores were selling ‘dangerous’ sex enhancement products
Health Canada has either seized or asked owners to remove sexual enhancement products from seven convenience stores across the province this week, as the products “are labelled to contain or have been tested and found to contain dangerous ingredients.”
Ingredients such as tadalafil and sildenafil, which are found in the majority of the products listed from Ontario, should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional and can cause dangerous and potentially life-threatening side effects for those taking nitrate drugs, or anyone with heart problems.
Other side effects of these two ingredients include headaches, facial flushing, indigestion, dizziness, abnormal vision, and hearing loss.
Yohimbine, another ingredient found in some of the products, can cause serious effects for people with high blood pressure, or heart, kidney or liver disease.
Testosterone compounds, found in one product, have also been linked to fatal health risks.
