The Health Ministry has advised the public to avoid buying or using four traditional products that contain prohibited ingredients.
The ministry’s director of its pharmacy services division Eisah Abdul Rahman said the four products were Bodybeaus, Jinglida, Eng Leong Cordyceps Chuanbei Plus Cough Pill 3.5gm and Loong Choo Brand Reh Bih Ho Herbal Tea.
“Their product registration has been cancelled by the Drug Control Authority because they were detected to contain ingredients that are not allowed to be formulated in a traditional product,” she said in a statement here yesterday.
The use of these products without proper diagnosis and monitoring by a doctor can cause serious adverse effects such as high blood pressure.
Sellers are reminded that possession for sale of these products is an offence under the Control of Drugs and Cosmetics Regulations 1984, she said.
