In addition, the Food Safety Department also announced 2 health protection food samples, which are 2 batches of Landscape products, with the label stating "not for sale gifts, domestic circulation goods".
The product does not have basic information and manufacturer's address. Of which, the product batch of 50 tablets has Sildenafil content: 50.1 mg/g; Tadalafil content: 25.4 mg/g. The product batch of 30 tablets has Sildenafil content: 54 mg/g; Tadalafil content: 27.2 mg/g.
Tadalafil and Sildenafil are two pharmaceutical drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction but are banned from use in health protection products because they have many dangerous side effects on the cardiovascular system.
Using Tadalafil incorrectly will cause cardiovascular complications for users, including myocardial infarction, angina, and even sudden death.
However, in recent times, the Food Safety Department has discovered and recalled many health protection foods for the treatment of erectile dysfunction that contain the two above-mentioned banned substances.
The Food Safety Department recommends that consumers be cautious when buying and using floating health protection products and functional foods of unknown origin.
