The federal agency says the medications should not be used without the supervision of a healthcare professional and could pose “serious health risks” to consumers, including “life-threatening low blood pressure.”

The seizure included a total of 15 products, a majority of which were sexual enhancement capsules from the brand “Rhino.” It also included capsules called “Horny Goat Weed” and “Pink Pussycat Honey,” a dietary supplement advertised to illicit “maximum arousal.”

Consumers in possession of the products are being asked to stop using them immediately and to consult their healthcare professional. Any adverse effects or events resulting from their use should be reported to Health Canada, the notice says.
