English Couple Charged for Distributing ED Meds Without a License
Two people from Eaglescliffe, England are being charged with importing the equivalent of $2.2 billion in erectile dysfunction (ED) medicine and distributing it in a product called “Kamagra” without a license.

David John Pearson (age 59) and Alla Pearson (age 35) are being charged with “distributing a medicinal product by wholesale dealing without a license” and money laundering, which ties into the money earned from the sales of Kamagra. The charges span from May 2014 to April 2016. Neither has entered a plea yet.

Why Kamagra could be dangerous

Kamagra, which was made in India, contains sildenafil citrate, the same active ingredient as Viagra.

Men who don’t realize they’re taking something similar to Viagra could become very ill—or possibly die. These include men who are allergic to sildenafil, who take nitrates (which are often prescribed for chest pain) or who take guanylate cyclase stimulators like Adempas for pulmonary hypertension. Taking sildenafil citrate with the latter two conditions can cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure.

Because Kamagra is sold online and without a prescription, you never really know what you’re getting. If you suffer from erectile dysfunction, your best bet is to talk to your doctor about getting a prescription for Viagra. This ED drug is tested, FDA-approved and monitored through a MedWatch reporting service that allows healthcare professionals and consumers to report any concerns with the drug.

This will also give you a chance to talk to your doctor about your medical history and other medicines you take.

Comparing Side Effects

While the side effects from taking illegal Kamagra can be incredibly severe, most of the common side effects from Viagra aren’t.

Things like flushing, headache, upset stomach, stuffy or runny nose, back pain and changes and vision are rarely permanent and usually quite manageable.
