NAFDAC Gives Valentine Day Sexual Stimulants Warnings, Announces Seizures
The National Agency for Foods, Drugs Administration and Control, NAFDAC said on Monday, Valentine Day, that it seized various brands of unregistered aphrodisiacs or sexual stimulants in Kaduna.
An aphrodisiac is a substance or drug that causes sexual arousal, brings on desire, or increases sexual pleasure or performance.
NAFDAC Coordinator in Kaduna State, Mr Nasiru Mato, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the seizures resulted from raids it conducted to rid the state of unregulated products.
He listed products seized to include: Power Coffee, Honeymoon, Viga 150000, Zahidi Coffee and Big Boss.
“NAFDAC has sensitised consumers several times on the inherent dangers of arbitrary use of such products due to their possible effect on health.
“They can damage vital body organs. The drugs overwork the heart which could result to hypertension and sudden death.
“The perceived `benefits’ are far less than the risks attendant on the consumption of these substances,’’ he said.
Mato advised that sex stimulating drugs be used only on doctors’ prescription.
He did not give the time that NAFDAC made the seizure of the sexual stimulants but the disclosure was made known on February 14, 2023 which is Valentine Day, a day that lovers around the world normally devote to celebrate themselves.
