The Ministry of Health and Medical Services (MHMS) has issued a strong warning to the public—especially men—to stop consuming Sabah Brand Miracle Energy Coffee, describing it as a dangerous product disguised as a supplement.
The Ministry in a statement on Friday, March 27 said the product does not contain what its label claims and instead contains a powerful prescription drug.
Testing carried out by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (Australia) found that a single sachet of the coffee contains 69.1 milligrams of Tadalafil, three times the recommended adult dose.
Tadalafil, similar to Sildenafil, is used to treat erectile dysfunction but can cause serious health risks if misused.
The Ministry warns that even normal doses of the drug can trigger severe cardiovascular complications, including heart attacks, especially in people with existing heart conditions or those taking certain medications.
“Products like this should never be sold over the counter,” the Ministry stressed, adding that Tadalafil is strictly a prescription-only medicine.
The Ministry said consuming just one sachet of the coffee is equivalent to taking three times the safe dose, significantly increasing the risk of severe side effects or even death.
The Ministry is now urging men experiencing sexual health issues to seek proper medical advice instead of turning to unregulated products.
Reports have also emerged of cases in Solomon Islands involving individuals affected after consuming the product.
Whilst they continue to monitor the situation, health officials call on the public to remain vigilant.
