Pfizer And MHRA Warn Regarding Fake Viagra
Tuesday, November 25th, 2008Pfizer, who manufacture the world’s best selling erectile dysfunction medication Viagra say that as many as ten percent of men could be “gambling on life” when purchasing counterfeit impotence meds online. Pfizer said that they estimated that around 90 percent of medications sold online could be fake.
A spokesman from Pfizer, Doctor David Gillen explained that a lot of men did not even realize that the erectile dysfunction medication Viagra required a prescription and were also unaware that when they bought from illegal websites they were buying potentially substandard and dangerous Viagra. He went on to explain that anonymity associated with buying erectile dysfunction drugs online was the main motivation and thus they were prepared to ignore the risk.
The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency in the United Kingdom backed up the research from Pfizer by saying that buying from illegal websites was “at best…. a waste of money”, and that at worst they could “harm or even kill”.
Ukmedix is aware of the concerns that men have with buying erectile dysfunction medication online and therefore have set up a unique system called Pharmacheck which allows you to contact the actual pharmacy based in the United Kingdom from where your medication is being dispatched from. This gives you peace of mind that what you are buying is the genuine article and that it is coming from a licensed British pharmacy and not from a criminal setup.
It is possible to buy medication online and some research shows that the quality of patient care with embarrassing conditions such as erectile dysfunction can be improved by online consultation, as opposed to face to face consultations where patients clam up and do not give doctors the full information about their condition. It is important to be discerning when it comes to buying impotence medications online. Any pharmacy that does not require an online consultation or a pharmacy is definitely selling you substandard medicines.
