HSA warns against 3 products after consumers, including a 12-year-old, suffer serious health effects

The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) in Singapore issued warnings against three products after they were found to contain banned or potent medicinal ingredients, leading to serious health issues in users. These products—C-Nine Dietary Supplement Product, Xue Ya Gao Zhong Feng Qing Cao Yao Cao, and B-Lian-S Herbal Cream—were marketed as supplements or herbal remedies but contained substances like steroids, antifungal medicines, and the banned drug sibutramine. Three individuals, including a 12-year-old boy, reported adverse effects such as heart palpitations, Cushing's syndrome, and stretch marks. The HSA confirmed that these products were sold online through platforms like Shopee, Lazada, and Facebook, and has requested their removal. The agency is collaborating with Malaysian authorities regarding the vendors involved.
