'Viagra Coffee' Seized in Malaysia

A direct-selling company marketed a coffee mixture with a secret
ingredient which guaranteed to 'perk up' drinkers. The secret
ingredient was sildenafil, more popularly known as Viagra.

Enforcement officers from the Health Ministry recently raided the
direct-selling company in Gombak. A medical examination is required,
along with a doctor’s recommendation, before men who are suffering
from erectile dysfunction are allowed to purchase sildenafil or
Viagra.

A ministry spokesman said: "The coffee mixture had been distributed in
sachets nationwide. Officers found 900 boxes containing more than
9,000 sachets of the coffee mixture which retailed for more than RM80
per box."
The company used individuals to distribute the product in small
quantities to evade detection by authorities, he said. "Investigations
revealed that the distributor attempted to mislead the public by
claiming that the coffee mixture could provide an energy boost,
besides being beneficial for men," the spokesman said.

If a coffee mixture is sold at a higher than normal price then it is
almost certain to contain the sildenafil. "A coffee mixture containing
the dangerous chemical is sold for between RM5 and RM10 per sachet
compared with coffee mixtures which retail for between RM1 and RM2 per
sachet," the spokesman said.

Sildenafil is a controlled substance because of the dangers it poses
to those suffering from heart ailments and high blood pressure. Those
who consume sildenafil without a doctor’s prescription run the risk of
headaches, stomach aches, hearing loss, vision impairment and muscle
pain.

'report on riot at Siam Paragon, by Good soldier' and sent it in." the
