Traditional pill ‘Sta-lions’ for erectile dysfunction has poison


KUALA LUMPUR: The public is urged to cease using the traditional pill 'Sta-lions' because it contains a scheduled poison 'Tadalafil' which has several side effects.

The licence holder of the product is Together Link Enterprise, Penang and its manufacturer is DZ Trade (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd in Kedah, he said in a statement.

He said, Tadalafil is used to treat erectile dysfunction, and, prior to this, it could only be supplied by a doctor or obtained from pharmacies on a doctor's prescription.

Those with stock of the product were told to stop its sale, distribution or usage immediately, he said.

Individuals who contavened the rule could be fined up to RM25,000 or jailed not more than three years or both for a first offence and fined not more than RM50,000 or jailed not more than five years or both for subsequent offences. - Bernama
