Israel's Ministry of Health has issued a warning against the purchase and consumption of a product labeled "Royal Black Honey," after discovering undeclared pharmaceutical ingredients. The ministry's inspection revealed that the product contains sildenafil, a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction, which has not undergone official state registration or approval.
The ministry emphasized that consuming such drugs without a doctor's prescription and supervision poses serious health risks. Uncontrolled intake can lead to dangerous fluctuations in blood pressure, vision impairment, severe cardiovascular problems, and even death. The danger is amplified by the potential for these components to interact dangerously with other medications.
Health officials strongly advise citizens to purchase all medications, vitamins, and health products exclusively from verified sources, such as licensed pharmacies and pharmacy chains. They urge the public to avoid ordering such items through social media, messaging apps, or dubious online stores where product quality and composition are not state-controlled.
Individuals who become aware of counterfeit medical products being sold or who experience adverse effects after consuming such items are encouraged to report them to the Health Voice hotline at the short number 5400.
