The Health Sciences Authority said in a statement on Monday that four men, aged between 30 to 78 years, were hospitalized after developing low blood sugar levels likely to be caused by the consumption of illegal sexual enhancement health products.

Glibenclamide, an anti-diabetic medicine, was found in the urine and blood of the four men and identified as the cause of their dangerously low blood sugar levels. Of the four men, only one is a diabetic, and he was not prescribed glibenclamide previously.

Two were unconscious when brought to hospital while the other two were confused and weak. The men are no longer in a critical condition. Three of them can hold simple conversations. The remaining man is in a non-communicative state.

The four cases were reported to the HSA over a span of one week from Jan. 30 to Feb. 2.
