Erectile Dysfunction

The other product, labelled Dai Dai Hua Jiao Nang,contained the prescription medicine sibutramine, which is used for the treatment of some obese patients, but can cause increased blood pressure and heart rates.

McKernan said sibutramine could not be safely taken by a range of people, including those with glaucoma, mental illness and severe liver or kidney problems.

It should not be used in combination with other medicines, such as some antidepressants and migraine treatments.

Reductil is the only brand of sibutramine approved for sale in New Zealand.

McKernan said the products appeared to have been sold on request under-the-counter and without any labelling or packaging indicating their ingredients or instructions for use.

Under New Zealand law, prescription medicines can only be obtained on a doctor's authority and must be labelled with the strength of all active ingredients.
