Now we should be very careful with all these energy drinks everywhere as some aren't good to the body.
Daily Mail UK
wrote: A herbal energy drink designed to give men a boost in the
bedroom has been banned - because it also contained an erectile
dysfunction drug.
MosKa is marketed around its natural 'performance enhancing' ingredients such as Red and Siberian Ginseng.
But its manufacturer has now discovered the drink also contained 'an underclared ingredient' - Vardenafil, or Levitra.

As a result, some men drinking the beverage, called MosKa, were experiencing prolonged erections.
There were also
fears they could have experienced the dangerous medical condition
priapism. This is where the penis remains erect for longer than four
hours and can become permanently damaged.
The drink also contains higher than prescribed levels of the drug than are prescribed in Australia, where the product is sold.
This in itself
is extremely dangerous because erectile dysfunction are usually
unsuitable for men with angina or very high blood pressure - and could
trigger a heart attack.
Other side effects include heartburn, nausea and headaches.
The Therapeutic
Goods Administration has now warned the drink “poses a serious risk to
your health and should not be taken”, according to news.com.au

It has now banned the drink and warned that any batches entering the country will be seized by Customs.
But the TGA
warns that its supply is now illegal in Australia and it will work with
Customs to help stop supplies entering the country.
A notice on
MosKa's website reads: We are devastated to have found that the
overseas OEM supplier for Moska energy for adults had included an
underclared ingredient, Vardenafil (Levitra), within the natural
ingredients.
'Vardenafil
(Levitra) is a prescription only substance. As such, we have terminated
the supplier and in the process of producing the product with our own
formulation to ensure no hidden ingredients. All our future products
will be tested for compliance with all regulations.'
