SINGAPORE – Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) has warned the public not to purchase or consume two products as they contained steroids and other potent medicinal substances which could cause serious adverse effects on consumers.
The products are “D’sihat Herba Gout & Sendi” for pain relief and “Yanwo Chongcao Yanyin Qinfei Huatan Dan” for cough relief.
According to HSA, a woman in her 50s who had been taking “D’sihat Herba Gout & Sendi” for seven months for her knee pain developed Cushing’s syndrome (a serious steroid-induced condition marked by a round or ‘moon face’ appearance) and was hospitalised as a result.
“She also experienced weight gain, lower limb swelling, and elevated blood sugar level.
