Singapore bans Malaysian coffee product for containing erectile dysfunction drug
Singapore has ordered the removal of the Malaysian coffee product Kopi Penumbuk from sale after the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) detected the presence of tadalafil, a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction. The SFA is warning consumers against purchasing or consuming the product, which was being sold on local e-commerce sites with claims of enhancing male sexual performance.
Tadalafil is a prescription medicine that should only be taken under medical supervision, as misuse can lead to serious side effects including heart attack, stroke, and priapism. The drug can also cause life-threatening low blood pressure in individuals with heart conditions, especially those taking medications containing nitrates. The SFA has worked with e-commerce platforms to remove listings of Kopi Penumbuk and has warned sellers to stop selling the product immediately, urging consumers who have purchased it not to consume it.
