Some recalcitrant sellers of aphrodisiacs and body enhancers have defied the orders of the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) and continue to engage in the sale of unapproved medicines.
Despite several warnings and confiscation of the unapproved medicines by the FDA, the sellers continue to engage in the activity unperturbed.
A visit to the markets within Kumasi revealed that the sellers were actively engaged in their businesses, with displayed alleged sex drive medicines and body enlarging enhancers.
Some of the medicines had inscriptions such as Tundra Butt Syrup, Anita Syrup, Supreme Maca Syrup, Ultimate Maca Syrup, Yodi Syrup and Dynewell among others and were sold at between GH₵50 and GH₵200.
Some of these medicines are alleged to have what it takes to increase one’s libido and sexual attraction by enlarging the buttocks of women in particular.
A popular seller, told our reporter, that the business was booming as demand was high, particularly among young women who needed curvy body shapes to entice their partners.
The woman, who was first hesitant to speak citing a similar conversation with someone who resembled the reporter which led to the confiscation of her products, claimed that the medicine was capable of providing what it was meant to do and users of the products sometimes, demanded more for their friends after noticing positive results.
A closer look at the woman prompted the question of why she was not curvy herself and according to her, she got to know about the medicine at a period in her life that growth had declined, making it impossible for her body to respond to the medicine.
