KUALA LUMPUR, April 22 (Bernama) -- The Health Ministry Tuesday warned the public to stop using "Pronoton", a traditional product, as it contains the scheduled poison analog sildenafil, which is not allowed to be used in traditional medicine.Its pharmaceutical services division director Eisah A. Rahman said the registration of the product had been revoked by the Drug Control Authority."Medicine containing sildenafil can only be prescribed by a doctor or bought with a doctor's prescription," Eisah said in a statement here Tuesday.Traditional products containing sildenafil can cause side effects like low blood pressure and other cardiovascular problems.All sale of the product must also stop with immediate effect and anyone caught doing so can be prosecuted under the Cosmetics and Drug Control Regulations 1984, which provides for fines up to RM100,000 or jail up to three years or both, if convicted.
