A statement signed by the the Chief Executive of FDA, Hudu Magtari, notes that all these drugs meant for male vitality and treatment of erectile dysfunction contain a poisonous chemical called Vardenafil, which has the potential of causing severe health complications like bleeding in the brain, heart attack, kidney disease, issues with sight and hearing.

“ The general public is therefore advised not to patronize the above-listed medicines,” the statement revealed.

The sale of “poisonous drugs” on the market remains one of the major challenges for the FDA especially when most of these off-the-counter drugs don’t have the right approval from the FDA.
