Fake Viagra made in North Korea

SEOUL: Fake Viagra made in North
Korea has turned up on the streets of South Korea, where police
have detained a local man for peddling a bogus version of the impotence
pill.
Police officers in Seoul said they were holding Bu Hyun-shik, 52, after confiscating close to 3000 fake Viagra pills that they said Bu claimed were made in North Korea.
"The pills are white, round and wrapped in aluminum foil," a police officer said, as opposed to the signature blue oval shape of Pfizer's erectile dysfunction remedy.
Viagra is sold in pharmacies in Seoul
at about 15,000 won a pill, triple Bu's price tag of 5000 won.
A Seoul pharmacist said the low price should make would-be buyers wary of fake "potentially dangerous" pills. source :-http://www.stuff.co.nz |
