Canada: Unauthorized dangerous health products "Stiff Nights" and "Stiff 4 Hours" found at Calgary retailer |
|
Two unauthorized health products - "Stiff Nights" and "Stiff 4 Hours" - were tested by Health Canada and were found to contain hidden ingredients (sildenafil and/or tadalafil) that may pose serious risks to the health of Canadians. These products are promoted as male sexual stimulants that contain hidden prescription medications. Approved drugs that contain these ingredients can only be sold with a prescription and by a pharmacy. The purchase of such unauthorized products elsewhere can put health at serious risk. Canadians who have purchased or used these products should consult their healthcare practitioner with any questions or concerns regarding use of these products.
Please refer to the following website in Health Canada for details:
