Health Canada has again seized unauthorized sex-enhancement substances from a Sudbury based health food store.
In a news release, Health Canada said it had recently seized the product called Bio-Love from the Paris Natural Foods Store.
It is the second time this year that the store was subjected to having some of its products pulled off the shelves by Health Canada.
In the first incident, back in February, unauthorized products were seized from Paris Natural Foods at 1500 Paris St., and from Durham Natural Foods at 1191 Montrose Ave.
In a news release related to the most recent seizure, Health Canada said the Bio-Love product contained Tadalafil and caffeine.
Tadalafil is a prescription drug used to treat erectile dysfunction and should be used only under the supervision of a health-care professional, said Health Canada.
"It should not be used by individuals taking any kind of nitrate drug (e.g., nitroglycerine) since it can cause potentially life-threatening low blood pressure. Individuals with heart problems are at increased risk of cardiovascular side effects such as heart attack, stroke, chest pain, high blood pressure and abnormal heartbeat," said Health Canada.
For anyone who might have purchased the product, Health Canada recommended the following:
- Do not use these products. Return the product to your local pharmacy for proper disposal.
- Consult a health care professional if you have used any of these products and have health concerns.
- Buy your prescription drugs only from licensed pharmacies.
