FDA warns public over falsified Dr Alfred Capsules adulterated with sildenafil
The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has warned the public against the purchase and use of falsified Dr Alfred Capsules, a dietary supplement marketed for male vitality, after laboratory tests found that the products had been adulterated with sildenafil citrate.
The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has issued a warning to the public regarding the sale of counterfeit Dr Alfred Capsules, a dietary supplement marketed for male vitality. Laboratory tests have revealed that the fraudulent capsules contained sildenafil citrate, a drug not listed in the genuine product's ingredients. The FDA discovered the illicit products being distributed on social media platforms and found that they were not registered with the Authority.
An organized syndicate operating in Accra and Suhum was identified and arrested, though two suspects are currently on police bail and assisting with the investigation. The FDA reported that the counterfeit capsules were produced in unregulated and unhygienic conditions, posing a significant health risk. The agency emphasized that the genuine Dr Alfred Capsules, manufactured by CV Al Manar Herbafit in Indonesia and registered in Ghana by Unateus Ghana Limited, do not contain sildenafil citrate.
Consumers are advised to avoid purchasing medicines, herbal remedies, or dietary supplements from unverified online platforms and social media accounts. Anyone with the counterfeit Dr Alfred Capsules should return them to the nearest FDA regional office.
