Government through the Pharmacy and Poisons Board cautions Kenyans against Asali ya Wazee’ a popular drug used to boost men’s performance in bed.
The Pharmacy and Poisons Board has warned Kenyans against the use of a popular drug commonly known as ‘Asali ya wazee’.
The drug is reported to be used by a section of men to boost their performance in bed.
PPB CEO Fred Siyoi in a notice said the drug suspected to be a falsified Themra Epimedyumlu Macun, manufactured by Veysi Topuz in Kenya, is in circulation in the market.
According to PPB, tests conducted on the product revealed high Sildenafil levels which could pose serious health risks.
“The PPB has conducted thorough tests on the honey-based product and detected significant adulteration for the product with high level of a conventional active pharmaceutical ingredient known as Sildenafil which is prescribed for management of erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension,” Siyoi said.

“The PPB strongly cautions the public against the use or involvement in the trade, distribution, wholesale, retail, issuance or dispensing of this drug, ” Siyoi added.
He added that whoever breaches the directive will face legal action.
“Any person found dealing with or distributing these products will be subjected to legal action. Further, the PPB advises the public against use of health products that have not obtained approval from the PPB,” Dr. Siyoi added.
