January 17, 2006

The Taipei City Government's Department of Health yesterday found out that one of 54 sex shops was found to be stocking fake erectile dysfunction (ED) drugs and other products that violated health regulations following a round of inspections. Nine products claiming to boost male potency that did not meet health regulations were found in a sex shop in Wenshan District.

Two of the products contained methamphetamine, while the others contained Bufalin, Sildenafil and Lidocaine. Bufalin increases the heart rate, has anesthetic effects and reduces swelling. Lidocaine also has anesthetic effects.

Products at the shop packaged as ED drug Cialis were found to contain Sildenafil, an active ingredient in Viagra. Products packaged as Viagra were found to contain methyltestosterone, a male hormone, in addition to the active ingredient Sildenafil. Viagra and Cialis are drugs approved by health authorities as treatment for erectile dysfunction.
