Health Canada has seized hundreds of different sexual enhancements products from stores in Ontario, Quebec, Alberta and B.C., after they were found to contain dangerous ingredients, the agency says.

In a public advisory, Health Canada says various ingredients were found in the unauthorized health products, including acetaminophen, DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), levodopa (aka L-dopa), prasterone, sildenafil, and tadalafil that could pose health risks.

Some of the packaging mentioned the potentially concerning ingredients, while others gave no warning, as the ingredients were only found through testing.

Anyone who owns these products is encouraged to stop using them immediately and to seek medical assistance if health issues arise.
