Fake Viagra Sold in the Name of 'Natural Viagra'
Date: January 8, 2006
What is a cause of concern regarding the sale of drugs on the internet is that these drugs may contain such ingredients which may not be helpful and customers keep on pouring their hard earned money into such products.
Researchers in Miami have found something very disturbing. There is a drug being sold on the internet as 'a 100 percent natural' product claiming to cure impotence, actually consists of 55 mg of sildenafil , better known as Viagra, per capsule.
The effectiveness of the compound may not be in question, but its safety is. Viagra is legally available by prescription only and, according to product information, should not be taken if a person is also taking medications containing nitrates. If the two are combined, blood pressure could plummet, leading, in some instances, to a heart attack or stroke. Nitrates are found in medications used to treat angina as well as in some recreational drugs.
The new product, called Actra Rx, turned out to contain about 55 milligrams of sildenafil. Pfizer's drug is available in 25-, 50- and 100-milligram tablets.
