There are a lot of supplements out there that claim to offer Viagra-like power. It’s become such a problem that Pfizer, the maker’s of Viagra, are warning men about the possible harmful effects of these over-the-counter impotence treatments.
Pfizer issues a warning
Pfizer believes competitors are luring men away with herbal supplements that are cheaper, according to a business article.
“Over the counter herbal sex enhancers aren’t clinically indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction,” James Wee, Pfizer Philippines senior medical manager, said in a statement. “PDE5 inhibitors (like Viagra) are never bought as over-the-counter medicines. It should only be purchased with a prescription from a physician,” he said.
Supplements aren’t the only problem
According to FDA, the government agency has seen its counterfeit drug investigations increase to over 20 per year since 2000, after averaging only about 5 per year through the late 1990s. While that number may seem small, any number of counterfeit drugs in the drug supply can pose significant health risks to thousands of Americans. In some cases, the FDA says fake pills have included harmful ingredients like printer ink, drywall, or street drugs like “speed.”
