There’s no two ways about it: counterfeit drugs can kill. They are
dangerous. They are poorly produced in disgusting warehouses by crooks
with no pharmaceutical knowledge and no regards for your wellbeing.
Pfizer’s erectile dysfunction medication Viagra is amongst the most
copied medicines in the world, but counterfeits of the ‘little blue
pill’ have been found to contain some shocking ingredients lurking
inside.
Fake Viagra pills are usually sent to
Pfizer’s laboratory for analysis, and their experts have previously
found a wide range of deadly chemicals such as blue printer ink, brick
dust, floor wax and even rat poison. Maybe the most shocking of all was
one infamous batch of pills being flogged in South Korea, partly made
from the remains of human foetuses. Perhaps this will make people think
twice before buying cheap knock-off erectile dysfunction drugs from
illegal websites.
Taking the fight to the counterfeiters and their illegal websites,
Medical Specialists™ Pharmacy are delighted to announce we now offer generic sildenafil
(the active ingredient in Viagra) for the staggering cheap price of
just £1.35* a tablet! So cheap it is practically a giveaway and
therefore there is no reason to look elsewhere and buy cheap dangerous
pills from untrusted sources purely for their inexpensive price.
With the current dire financial climate and many people out of work,
it is completely understandable that many of us wish to save money where
we can, but this saved money can’t be taken to the grave with you after
you have ingested counterfeit drugs and suffered a fatal reaction.
“I can buy Viagra
cheap from my mate down the pub” or “Yes I’ve taken Viagra, I got
Kamagra from my mate” are two things Medical Specialists™ often hear
from men seeking our help with their impotence problems. Mates down the
pub are not doctors, pharmacists, or will enquire about your medical
history or what other medications you may be taking.
For instance, Nitrates (taken for angina) can actually react with
Viagra and cause a sudden drop in blood pressure, leading to a heart
attack. And for the record, bear in mind that Kamagra is not Viagra and is not licensed in the UK. Therefore it is illegal to buy it or be in possession of it.
In-house GMC-registered doctors are available at Medical Specialists™
to carefully review your consultation and suitability for not just ED
treatments, but indeed any prescription-only medication. Your health and
wellbeing are put first, unlike that mate down the pub who just wants
to make a few quid regardless of if you might suffer with heart or brain
damage.
The popular Bury-based pharmacy caters for thousands of patients all
across the globe, and as such, does not want to see all these
unsuspecting men parting with their cash for cheap, dangerous Viagra
knock-offs because their budget will just not allow for the ‘genuine’
article – Pfizer’s Viagra or other genuine UK-made sildenafil-based
medicines.
In fact when the UK patient expired last year for Viagra, Medical
Specialists™ Pharmacy introduced other erectile dysfunction medications
that contained sildenafil – for only fraction of the cost! This resulted
in a surge in demand for these inexpensive medications that contained
sildenafil.
Men suffering from impotence probably thought things couldn’t get any better for their wallet…think again!
There are actually currently 27 UK manufacturers licensed to
manufacture sildenafil, including the more well-known Teva sildenafil
and Actavis sildenafil, and patients with Medical Specialists™ can now
benefit from further slashed prices of generic sildenafil! Yes, all
patients old and new can obtain generic sildenafil at rock bottom
prices, if they don’t mind which particular manufacturer they receive,
but all are UK-produced and contain the exact same active ingredient.
At just £1.35* per tablet of generic sildenafil, this is without
doubt a lot cheaper than both buying from your mates and attempting to
smuggle counterfeits into the country and if caught, being hit with
thousands of pounds in fines and even a prison sentence.

The dangers of fake medicines: Let’s work together and counter the counterfeits
A common line that Medical Specialists™ Pharmacy hears is “I can get
Viagra for a lot cheaper from my mate at the pub” from men who suffering
with erectile dysfunction and are coming to us because we are a
fully-registered online pharmacy and a trusted source.
However, Steve down the pub flogging what appear to be ‘Viagra’ tablets, for a fraction of the cost of genuine Pfizer Viagra, is not a trusted source. He is more than likely neither a qualified doctor nor pharmacist, will not ask you about your medical history, for a recent blood pressure reading, or if you take medications for other health problems. For instance, men taking nitrate-based drugs such as Nitroglycerin for heart problems should not take Viagra as the two drugs can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure.
Simply put, this friendly chap you meet in the toilets to buy your impotence pills does not care for your well-being but is looking to make easy money off you. It might seem appealing to save a few pounds to buy from Steve instead of a reputable and established pharmacy like Medical Specialists™, but do you really know what you are even buying?
To counter this, Medical Specialists™ now actually offer Sildenafil Teva and Sildenafil Actavis, two erectile dysfunction medications that contain the same active ingredient as the more expensive Pfizer Viagra, but for substantially less in price. Why purchase an unknown product from an unreliable means when you can spend a similar amount for the aforementioned Sildenafil brands and can rest assured you are receiving UK-manufactured medicines, with your consultation questions assessed our GMC-registered doctors who actually do care about your health. Prices for Sildenafil Teva from Medical Specialists™ works out from as little as £2.69 (based on pack of 4 x 25mg tablets on private prescription).
Ingredients in cheap Viagra-like tablets are likely to be of poor quality, expired, or many not even contain any Sildenafil Citrate whatsoever (Viagra’s active ingredient). This can result in very little, if any at all, improvement in your erections or potentially deadly consequences from taking the cheaper knock-off. On the other end of the scale, tablets with unregulated higher doses are highly dangerous. Super-potent drugs with more than a safe level of Sildenafil Citrate could result in a heart attack.
You may also be shocked and disgusted to learn about some of the ingredients that have previously been found in confiscated counterfeit Viagra include:
. Antifreeze.
. Blue printer ink.
. Cyanide (sometimes used in rat poison).
. Drywall and plaster.
. Dye to replicate genuine Viagra’s texture and colour.
. Speed or amphetamine.
If all that isn’t enough to raise eyebrows, it’s how these drugs are made which is equally shocking. Steve in the pub may have seemingly real-looking blue ‘Viagra’ pills, but he will not tell you about the processes to produce them, and probably doesn’t know himself. Within the dirty, grotty warehouses where these pills are made, there lies the danger of potential toxicity from heavy metals and other unknown ingredients, not the risk of bacterial and fungal infection from the pills being produced in unhygienic conditions.

Medical Specialists lead the way for ED treatment as Viagra’s UK patent ends
If somebody says the phrase ‘erectile dysfunction’ (ED) or ‘male impotence’, one may instantly think of Pfizer’s wonder drug Viagra. This is mainly because Viagra was the very first oral medication approved for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
The brand name Viagra will probably always be strongly associated with ED/male impotence and its name alone carries a lot of history and weight behind it. The active ingredient of Viagra ‘sildenafil’ will probably not invoke the same level of familiarity and this chemical name could sound less attractive to men. However, when it boils down to it, that is all Viagra is – sildenafil.
Viagra’s origins are surprisingly traced all the way back to 1989 when a group of pharmaceutical chemists working at Pfizer’s Sandwich, Kent research facility in England, first synthesised sildenafil citrate, a compound that they had high hopes for in the treatment of heart problems such as angina. Two separate Phase 1 trials in addition to one Phase 2 clinical trial over the period of 1991 – 1992 revealed rather unconvincing results for angina treatment, but it became apparent the drug’s strengths lay elsewhere.
By 1994, Pfizer researchers Nicholas Terrett and Peter Ellis noted that men involved in the trial studies of sildenafil citrate as a heart medicine had benefited from increased blood flow into the penis area, aiding those who may previously had difficulty in achieving or sustaining an erection. Over the following three years there were a total of 21 clinical trials conducted, involving nearly 4,500 men. Terrett and Ellis were able to prove sildenafil was both safe and effective as a treatment for erectile dysfunction.
In 1997 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) agreed to give Pfizer’s ‘Viagra’ as it was now to be called, a priority review. This is only allocated for drugs which demonstrate large advances in treatment or can be used for a medical need. It was then approved on 27th March 1998 by the FDA and later given the go-ahead for immediate sale in the European Union in September of the same year.
The popularity of Viagra soon skyrocketed and netted its manufacturer Pfizer billions of dollars each year, even infamously being endorsed in TV adverts by former United States Senator Bob Dole and the Brazilian former world cup winner and football star Pelé. The stigma surrounding men suffering with impotence was finally starting to disappear as men around the world embraced this revolutionary new drug which garnered nicknames such as ‘Vitamin V’, ‘The Little Blue Pill’ and ‘Blue Diamond’.
Men who previously kept their bedroom problems strictly in the bedroom were now willing to discuss this genuine health problem and the fact it is something which can cause deep distress, depression, low self-esteem and can impact relationships. Soon even celebrity figures such as Playboy founder Hugh Hefner were speaking of Viagra’s prowess, with the aging lothario describing Viagra as “God’s little helper”, whilst actor Michael Douglas, married to Catherine Zeta-Jones, raved that Viagra was “a wonderful enhancement . . .that can make us all feel younger.”
This takes us to the present day. Pfizer has seen its market share dramatically decrease in the intervening years due to the entry of Eli Lilly’s Cialis and Bayer’s Levitra and men now have more options available than ever, including the Cialis Daily and Levitra ODT (Orodispersible) variations which have subsequently been introduced. Medical Specialists Pharmacy is one of the leaders in erectile dysfunction treatment and we always have our finger on the pulse regarding the latest treatments for erectile dysfunction and a whole host of other medical conditions.
In fact, if you are not already aware, Pfizer’s UK Viagra patent expired on 21st June 2013 and this now makes it eligible for other pharmaceutical companies to produce an erectile dysfunction medication that contains sildenafil, just like Viagra. This is known as a ‘generic’ alternative. Generic medicines are known for their hugely competitive prices which could prove a massive relief for many of us suffering from the credit crunch-induced hardship.
For some, it is all in the name. Viagra is associated with being the first, and thus best. But let’s not forget what it is actually inside a Viagra tablet – sildenafil. It could be a blue diamond-shaped tablet or a white oval-shaped tablet, regardless of its outer appearance, the sildenafil contained inside is exactly the same and has the same purpose – to help men suffering from erectile dysfunction to achieve and maintain an erection that is satisfactory for sex.
For more information about the latest erectile dysfunction treatments obtainable from Medical Specialists, visit the male impotence area of the website where we have recently added new treatments such as Sildenafil Teva and Sildenafil Actavis – both at incredibly low prices. Or, if you find tablets difficult to swallow, we also now offer Nipatra (sildenafil) chewable tablets.
