A Singapore man undergoing treatment for cancer was detained for four hours by U.S. immigration officials after the drug he was taking caused his fingerprints to disappear.

Now, the unidentified man's oncologist is asking patients taking the commonly used drug, capecitabine, to carry a doctor's note when they travel to the United States.

According to the oncologist, the patient had neck and head cancer that had spread. He responded well to chemotherapy.

To prevent a recurrence, doctors placed him on capecitabine, marketed in the United States as Xeloda.

One of the side effects of the drug is hand-foot syndrome. It causes the skin on the hands and feet to peel. With time, the drug can erase fingerprints.

"It is uncertain when the onset of fingerprint loss will take place in susceptible patients who are taking capecitabine," the doctor wrote.

German authorities have banned some retailers from selling the energy drink Red Bull ola, as the country considers a nationwide ban, after traces of cocaine were found in it.

A food safety institute in the German state of North-Rhine Westphalia found the drug during a test on Red Bull samples, the UK newspaper Daily Mail reported.

"The institute examined Red Bull cola in an elaborate chemical process and found traces of cocaine," Bernhard Kuehnle, head of the food safety department at the federal ministry for consumer protection said.

While the levels of the drug found do not pose a health threat, it is still illegal. The contamination would require the drink to be classified as a narcotic, not a foodstuff.

Red Bull argues the drink contains de-cocainized extract of coca leaf, which is used as natural flavoring in foods worldwide.

The company also claimed the coca leaf extract is considered safe in the EU and in the US.
