UAE bans sex drug; recalls product from shelves

Ministry issues circular recalling the drug from market.

The Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) has issued a circular suspending and recalling a sex drug.

The ministry explained that 'Musli Power X-Tra' capsules, a sexual enhancement product for men, contained a solid brown mass rather than a powder as per product specifications.

Additionally, the shelf life of the product registered with MoHAP is 24 months, but the date stated on the product box is 36 months.

In a circular issued on April 25, the ministry has taken the following actions:

- Suspension of the product's registration until verification of the quality of the product is completed. - The manufacturer shall withdraw all the batches of the above mentioned product from public and private health sectors. - All health care practitioners should refrain from using the product. - All pharmacies must stop dispensing the product, and return it to the supplier.
