Some of the products are pills, while others are poppers, which are small vials of liquid of which the fumes are inhaled.

The products were seized from several retail stores, including an adult shop in Calgary and a supplement store along Harvey Avenue in Kelowna.

"Prescription drugs should be taken only under the supervision of a health professional because they may cause serious side effects," reads the warning.

"Using a product that contains ingredients that the consumer is not aware of increases the chance of dangerous allergies and interactions with other medications and foods."
