PUTRAJAYA: The Health Ministry has urged the public not to buy or use a traditional product, ‘Aman Liquid’ as it contains yohimbine, a scheduled poison. Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah (pic) said the registration of the product had been cancelled by the Drug Control Authority on Sept 27, following the detection of the scheduled poison. “Yohimbine is not allowed in medicines which are classified as traditional,” he said in a statement Saturday. “It can also be dangerous to pregnant women, and those with high blood pressure, heart, kidney and liver problems,” added Dr Noor Hisham. “Errant companies can be fined up to RM50,000 for the first offence and RM100,000 for the subsequent offence,” he added.
