Fake Viagra
Viagra - the popular impotence drug faces stiff
competition not from Cialis or Levitra but from counterfeiters who
sell bogus or fake Viagra. So, Viagra is all set to don the mantle
a la' Super Cop to shoot the enemy down .
Beware! All those who are looking to Buy Viagra
online, they might end up buying instead Illegal "Generic Viagra",
Counterfeit Viagra, "Quick-Dissolving Viagra" or herbal Viagra.
Mass counterfeiting of popular prescription drugs is not only an
economic threat to drug makers but can also endanger lives.
Viagra is popular with counterfeiters because it's
a high-priced drug that sells well over the Internet, since men
hesitate talking about their sexual problems with their doctors.
This has prompted Pfizer to launch a broad legal offensive and Internet
advertising campaign to stanch online commerce in bogus Viagra.
The main targets are sellers of counterfeit Viagra
or purported generic versions of the drug, Pfizer said. No legal
generic is available in the U.S. because the drug remains protected
by patents.
