The Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) warns consumers not to use the herbal preparation Montalin.

In addition to herbs, it also contains illegally added pain-relieving drugs, but this is not stated on the packaging.
According to the NVWA, the web shops that sold this drug have ceased trading. However, it is still sold through closed groups. Montalin is taken for muscle pain, gout, stress, migraine, rheumatism and bronchitis.
Lareb
The Lareb side effects center announced earlier this year that the herbal preparation from Indonesia contains pain-relieving drugs. These are the anti-inflammatory painkillers NSAID and paracetamol. Reports received by Lareb showed that users experienced a remarkably rapid pain relief after using the herbal preparation.
“It is prohibited to add these pharmacologically active substances to herbal preparations. People who use Montalin can ingest high doses of painkillers unknowingly,” according to the NVWA.
