Be natural men! No energy drink for long hour erection allowed in Zambia

Zambian authorities have taken a new step to ensure that men should not suffer from erectile dysfunction. They have highlighted the negative effects of using special drinks for prolonged erection (for around six hours) that can be fatal in the future.

That’s the reason, the authorities in Zambia have ordered a local manufacturer to stop the production and distribution of an energy drink that reportedly caused a six hours prolonged erection in a man.

According to BBC, the move comes after the Uganda National Drug Authority (NDA) said in a letter dated 28 December that it had tested samples from a bottle of Natural Power SX after a customer complained of constant sweating and an erection lasting nearly six hours. NDA opined the drink contained sildenafil citrate used to treat erectile dysfunction.

The drink is manufactured by Revin Zambia Limited, a company located in Ndola in the north of Zambia. However, the official told the BBC's Newsday programme that to the best of his knowledge the energy drink does not contain any drugs.

On the other hand, Zambia Medicines Regulatory Authority, the Ndola City Council and the Zambia Bureau of Standards said they had instituted investigations in the matter and will release the findings to the public. Those authorities strictly ordered an immediate stop to the production and consumption of Natural Power High Energy Drink (on Monday, December 7), which is believed to be used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men.
