\"Purchasing
Purchasing name brand medications from a trusted source is the best way to ensure you’re taking the real deal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>The maker\u2019s of Viagra are warning consumers about herbal medications that claim to have the same effect as the popular blue pill.<\/p>\n

Company issues warning<\/strong><\/p>\n

The company issued the warning after sales of Viagra slipped by about nine percent. Pfizer believes competitors are luring men away with herbal supplements that are cheaper.<\/p>\n

\u201cMedications like Viagra are never bought as over-the-counter medicines. It should only be purchased with a prescription from a physician,\u201d James Wee, Pfizer Philippines senior medical manager, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Herbal pills aren\u2019t FDA regulated<\/strong><\/p>\n

Herbal supplements aren\u2019t checked by the FDA, which means they don\u2019t go through the same rigorous testing. Herbal supplements aren\u2019t the only danger in the erectile dysfunction market; many companies are attempting to cash in on the Viagra demand by selling fake pills.<\/p>\n

\u201cCounterfeits and clones shorten or circumvent the proper process of research and development often compromising efficacy, quality, and safety of drugs. There are other processes that can be used to produce\u00a0Sildenafil\u00a0but safety and efficacy of\u00a0Sildenafil\u00a0produced by alternative, substandard processes are unproven,\u201d Wee said.<\/p>\n

Feds see increasing problem<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Beware
Beware of herbal pills claiming to work as well as Viagra.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

According to FDA<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

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 \u201cspeed.\u201d<\/p>\n
