Malaysia bans another traditional medicine laced with Viagra chemical.
(From AP Worldstream)
Byline: ERRIN HAINES
Malaysia has banned a second traditional medicine found to illegally contain chemicals used in the anti-impotency drug Viagra.

Over-the-counter sale of medicines containing tadalafil are banned in Malaysia.
"The public should not use products containing tadalafil without being prescribed by a doctor as these drugs could cause deleterious effects to certain patients, especially those with heart conditions of diabetes," it said.
