The sale of three batches of drinks namely Stronger Weekend, Stronger Pineapple Wine and Stronger Beer has been banned by the National Drug Authority after laboratory tests revealed the products were laced with Viagra, and aphrodisiac.

The affected batches are numbers SW0032020TOMI with UNBS QC number 1429_21/22 for the still wine; SW00121TOMI with UNBS QC number 1430_21/22 for the beer and SW00121TOMI with UNBS QC number 1433_21/22 for the opaque beer, manufactured by Thembomar Investments Limited located in Mpondwe, Kasese District. 

Dr James William Tamale, the head of regions at NDA says the products were taken for testing following a raid that took place early this month on the factory.

He urged the public to stop using the products because they contain Viagra, a controlled substance that requires a prescription to purchase.

Dr Tamale added that taking the drug in unknown quantities could lead to health complications such as liver and kidney failure.

NDA has also informed UNBS about the products and asked them to ensure that the beer and wine are taken off the market.

Meanwhile, Dr Tamale argues that since the products have been manufactured and sold in the border town of Mpondwe, the authority will get in touch with their counterparts in the Democratic Republic of Congo regarding the laced products.
