The Therapeutic Goods
Administration (TGA) has tested
Erec-Bull tablets and found that
they contain the undeclared
prescription substance yohimbine
which is not approved for supply
in any registered medicine within
Australia.
It is also a prohibited import
under Customs legislation without
appropriate permits.

In addition, the TGA has also
identified the contents of Acai Berry
Living-XS Diet capsules and found
them to contain the undeclared
prescription substance sibutramine,
which is a prescription-only
substance and the active ingredient
in the medicine Reductil.
It was withdrawn in October 2010
after a study showed an increased
risk of major cardiac events.
The diet capsules also contain
phenolphthalein, a laxative which
has also been withdrawn.
