MosKa, the energy drink, has been marketed as a drink for adults that will give them an erection.
According to the authorities, the drink may not provide the happy ending which the consumers were hoping for, News.com.au reported.
The drink that was earlier promoted at Sexpo Sydney last year apparently contains vardenafil, a prescription-only substance, at levels above what was allowed in Australia.
The side effects could cause nausea, abdominal and back pain, palpitations and priapism, where the penis remains erect for longer than four hours, as it includes ingredients that are used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
An advisory said that if those bottles were found at the border by Customs they will be seized and destroyed.
