Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) issues a warning to consumers who use sexual enhancement supplements after an investigation finds that some products contain undeclared prescription drugs. The TGA says several items marketed as “harmless” supplements have been found to include the same types of medicines that require a doctor’s prescription. The regulator warns that using these products may pose serious health risks, because the prescription drugs are not disclosed on the labels and consumers may not receive appropriate dosing, screening, or safety advice associated with legitimate medical use. The TGA’s action focuses on informing the public and encouraging consumers to check products and seek advice if they have used them. The warning follows findings reported across multiple outlets, which describe the issue as supplements that conceal prescription ingredients and raise concerns about potential side effects. The TGA continues to investigate and communicate safety information as required.
