SEX Drug is Bad for Your Health - Expert Warns
Labels:
HEALTH TIPS
Kenneth Azikwe, Jigawa state chairman of the National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) on Wednesday warned Nigerians against indiscriminate consumption of sex improvement medicines.
Azikwe advised the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Dutse that many of the libido medications in seen around were not certified by the company.
"The libido drugs in circulation are not certified by NAFDAC and the description on them is in Chinese and other alien languages.
"Consumption of such drugs is harmful because its pharmaceutical composition could not be guaranteed," Azikwe said.
He further encouraged the public to stop patronising drug hawkers and self medication.
He claimed that the drugs from hawkers were fake, adulterated and dangerous which exposed people to health threats.
"Drug hawkers are death merchants, people should not patronise them", adding that the agency was sensitizing communities to the need to patronise registered patent medicine dealers.
He said, the agency has arrested 30 drug hawkers in Dutse and has intensified surveillance activities to check drug hawking in the state.

[HEALTH]: Curbing HALITOSIS
Labels:
HEALTH TIPS
Whether it's a fleeting case of morning breath or a lingering bout with halitosis, everyone has bad breath sometimes.
Unfortunately, for as easy as it is to get bad breath, getting rid of it can be a lot more complicated. For some, employing a toothbrush, floss and mouthwash more frequently to remove plaque, the nearly invisible film of bacteria that contributes to bad breath, will do the trick. For others, a professional cleaning to remove stuck-on tartar, which is hardened plaque, will be necessary. Others still will discover that cavities and gum disease are at the root of their bad breath problems.
Occasionally, bad breath is due to something in the lungs or gastrointestinal tract, or to a systemic infection. Some health problems, such as sinus infections or diabetes, can also cause bad breath. And sometimes it just comes down to what you ate for dinner.
So what's the first step you should take to freshen your breath?
