The case involved sales of fake Viagra worth an estimated $18.6 million.<\/p>\n<p><b>Firm Punishment for Counterfeit Viagra Seller Caught on Craigslist.<\/b> OC Weekly in California reported on May 22, 2014, that a federal judge had sentenced an Orange County man to one year in jail and a $5,000 fine for selling fake Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra on Craigslist.<br \/>\n<b>Police Bust Fake Viagra Ring in Spain.<\/b> Agence France-Presse reported on May 28, 2014, that Spanish authorities had detained 13 people suspected of trafficking in large quantities of fake prescription drugs, including counterfeit Viagra.<\/p>\n<p><b>5 Charged with Illegally Importing Fake Viagra.<\/b> On May 29, 2014, MyFoxAtlanta.com reported that five people were charged for illegally importing mislabeled products from China. The report said the products in question contained the active ingredient in Viagra &#8212; sildenafil citrate &#8212; that can only be obtained in the United States after being prescribed by a licensed physician.<\/p>\n<p>Viagra, the first FDA-approved drug to treat impotence, has been among the world\u2019s best-selling drugs since its introduction in the 1990s. Although other drugs that produce similar results have come to market in the years since Viagra\u2019s introduction, the little blue pills from Pfizer remain the best-selling impotence drug in the United States, and Viagra is a close second to Cialis in international sales.<\/p>\n<p>Cialis was only able to overtake Viagra in international sales when Pfizer\u2019s patent for Viagra expired in Europe in mid-2013. The pharmaceutical giant\u2019s U.S. patent for the drug won\u2019t expire until April 2020.<\/p>\n<h3>Viagra a Tempting Target<\/h3>\n<p>Viagra is a much sought-after drug, but its price per tablet is relatively high, which proves tempting to counterfeiters who can sell fake Viagra tablets for much less than Viagra\u2019s current selling price and still reap a handsome profit.<\/p>\n<p>However, for the buyer of counterfeit Viagra, the cost can be far greater than simply paying for a medication that is ineffective. By their very nature, counterfeit medications are produced without the oversight of national and international agencies that are dedicated to guaranteeing the purity and safety of ingredients used in the drugs\u2019 manufacture.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6766\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6766\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6766\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/FDAscreeningtool-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"An FDA technician demonstrates a sophisticated portable device that the agency is using to detect counterfeit drugs. \" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/FDAscreeningtool-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/FDAscreeningtool.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6766\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>An FDA technician demonstrates a sophisticated portable device that the agency is using to detect counterfeit drugs.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Printer Ink Found in Fake Viagra<\/h3>\n<p>In other words, fake Viagra can &#8212; and often does &#8212; contain virtually every imaginable substance that counterfeiters can lay their hands on in an attempt to closely duplicate the appearance of the authentic pills manufactured by Pfizer. According to Pfizer, fake Viagra tablets have been found to contain blue printer ink, used in attempt to copy the pill\u2019s trademark blue color, and binding agents, such as drywall, which prevent the pills from breaking down in your system.<\/p>\n<p>Also found in some counterfeit Viagra have been amphetamines, also known as \u201cspeed;\u201d Metronidazole, a powerful antibiotic that can cause an allergic reaction, diarrhea, or vomiting; and excessive amounts of Viagra\u2019s active ingredient &#8212; sildenafil citrate &#8212; that can cause serious health problems.<\/p>\n<h3>CBS Chicago Report<\/h3>\n<p>In a November 2011 report for CBS Chicago, investigative journalist Dave Savini went along with U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents as they raided filthy warehouses that were filled with counterfeit prescription medications, including fake Viagra. CBP officials told Savini that counterfeit Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra &#8212; all used to treat erection dysfunction &#8212; are flooding the market. In 2010 CBP agents seized 330 shipments of fake impotence pills. In 2011 the number nearly quadrupled to 1,200 such seizures.<\/p>\n<p>CBP spokesman Brian Bell told Savini that the fake pills can be dangerous for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is the unsanitary conditions in which the fakes are manufactured. Bell said raids in Montreal found pills in which commercial-grade paint was used as a coloring agent. In Ecuador, pill mills were found to be using boric acid, and pills made in a Colombian pill mill were found to contain rat poison. Fake pills manufactured in Hungary contained dangerous levels of amphetamines.<\/p>\n<h3>Fake Pills Could Kill<\/h3>\n<p>Bell said that CBP and the FDA are hoping their crackdown on phony pill mills will slow traffic in counterfeit medications, especially since some of the pills seized have 10 times the dosage of that active ingredient that is found in real Viagra. \u201cThat could kill somebody very easily,\u201d said Bell.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a safe and easy way to purchase FDA-approved impotence drugs from U.S.-licensed pharmacies, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\">visit eDrugstore.com<\/a>.
