A herbal energy drink meant to boost a man in the bedroom was discovered to contain an erectile dysfunction drug, prompting Australian authorities to ban the drink, UK MailOnline reported.
MosKa was marketed for ingredients such as Red and Siberian Ginseng, which would provide men with natural "performance enhancing" energy.
However, manufacturers found "an undeclared ingredient" - Vardenafil, or Levitra, to be part of the energy drink.
As a result, some men experienced prolonged erections after drinking the beverage.
"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," UK MailOnline reported.
"The drink also contains higher than prescribed levels of the drug than are prescribed in Australia, where the product is sold," UK MailOnline continued. "This in itself is extremely dangerous because erectile dysfunction is usually unsuitable for men with angina or very high blood pressure - and could trigger a heart attack."
Heartburn, nausea and headaches are some other side effects of the dysfunction.
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
After banning the drink, the Australian administration has sent out a warning that Customs will seize any batches entering the country.
"The TGA warns that its supply is now illegal in Australia and it will work with Customs to help stop supplies entering the country," UK MailOnline reported.
"We are devastated to have found that the overseas OEM supplier for Moska energy for adults had included an undeclared ingredient, Vardenafil (Levitra), within the natural ingredients," a notice on MosKa's website reads.
"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."
