Man gets caught trying to import eleven thousand fake tablets into Latvia



After two weeks of complex operations by the National Latvian Police they unfortunately failed in arresting a man who imported eleven thousand fake Viagra & Cialis tablets from London into the Latvia.

However the 22 year old had realised the police were chasing him and dumped his stash. He has now been detained for trying to import the counterfeit tablets from London which he had planned to sell without a prescription which is illegal.


There are numerous amounts of illegal pharmacy style websites online selling counterfeit Viagra and Cialis, which are sold without a prescription in pubs and clubs throughout Europe for around five Euros per tablet.

It is now on a case by case criminal proceeding, and the 22 year old man is being threatened with imprisonment for up to two years including forced labour or a fine of up to 150 minimum months worth of salary.

For anyone trying to buy prescription medication such as Viagra and Cialis online always make sure the company is a registered pharmacy and displays their pharmacy logo and number on their website.

Fake Viagra overdose call ends with charges


A US resident from Florida has been charged after a caller used vulgar language to tell a 911 operator he had overdosed on Fake illegal Viagra.

The call was made shortly after midnight on Jan. 16 from a home in Oakland Park, a suburb of Fort Lauderdale. A man told the 911 operator he needed medical attention because he had taken too many Viagra pills, which are used to help men with erectile dysfunction. The man “used vulgar language and described in explicit detail to the dispatcher the effect the pills were having on him. He even explained how his wife was performing oral sex on him to help alleviate the pain,” police said in a release Friday.

Paramedics responded to the address the caller had provided, but when they arrived, were told no one at the home had called 911 for help. Police went to the home in February and the homeowner identified the voice as belonging to his daughter’s ex-boyfriend. Police have charged Matthew Wade Douglas Jr. with misuse of the 911 system.

Male driver refuses breath test due to impotence drug

A DRIVER told police he was unable to carry out a breath test — because of side effects from a Viagra-style pill he had taken.

Neil Macdonald was stopped by police while behind the wheel of his Volkswagen Golf in Sinclair Street, Greenock, just after 8.25am under suspicion of driving while unfit through drink or drugs.

He was taken to Greenock Police Station to provide two samples, but failed to blow into the machine.

Macdonald claimed he was breathless because of the anti-impotency tablet he had taken 90 minutes before.

Macdonald denied failing to provide police with two specimens of breath for analysis on 12 December but was convicted after a trial at Greenock Sheriff Court last week.

Macdonald claimed he had taken Levitra, an anti-impotence drug prescribed to him by his doctor, at 7am.

Medical evidence provided by his defence team suggested Macdonald was telling the truth when claiming he was unable to blow hard enough into the machine to give a reading.

A report from Doctor Paul Skett said shortness of breath was a well-known side effect of the drug.

The court heard the 43-year-old, while in custody, had also asked officers if water he had drunk from the toilet would affect his alcohol reading.

After being asked to blow into the police testing equipment, the court heard Macdonald began to wheeze and cough, claiming the Levitra had left him too breathless to provide a sample.

After a two-hour trial, Macdonald was convicted by Sheriff Rajni Swanney, who said she was unimpressed by the accused’s claims.

Macdonald, of Clydeshore Road, Dumbarton, had sentence deferred until later this week.
