Viagra rises from the dead in Pakistan!
Monday, 31 January , 2005, 19:26
Islamabad: Pakistan's Drug Appellate Board has allowed the sale of
Viagra in the country and asked
the concerned authorities to consider its registration along with
15 other contenders.
According to The News, the Drug Appellate Board referred Viagra along with 15 other similar drugs for consideration for sale in Pakistan.
This is not the first time that Pakistan has considered the sale of Viagra. Earlier in 1998, Pakistan had contemplated the sale of Viagra in the country, but shelved it following findings by the experts committee that it was "not in public interest."
However, the board after receiving fresh reports from experts in
favour of the drug, decided to allow Pfizer,
the makers of Viagra, to register Viagra
by the registration board.
Provincial governments while welcoming the sale of Viagra in Pakistan have, however, said that its sale should be allowed in Pakistan only on doctors' prescription.
