Buying Fake Viagra
Posted By Clod on September 19, 2008
The popularity of Viagra has made it one of the most spammed products ever devised. Every day there are billions of Viagra emails sent out to potential customers. Unfortunately, many of the spammers are peddling fake Viagra. Many of the discount pharmacies and sham web stores hawking Viagra at low prices are selling foreign-made fake Viagra tablets.
The fakes look a lot like the real thing, fooling many buyers into believing they’ve gotten their Viagra for cheaper than they ever thought possible. Fake Viagra tablets are made to approximate the authentic blue diamond-shaped tablets. Often the printing on the tablet is irregular, and may even be misspelled. Sometimes the maker didn’t attempt to approximate the real thing and simply sends tablets with a different color or shape. Real Viagra will have a uniform color, shape and size. Every tablet will be identical, with the same printing on each.
Besides being ineffective, there is always the possibility that fake Viagra tablets can contain dangerous ingredients. Whatever the manufacturer made them from has likely not been tested in patients and is not disclosed on the label. If your Viagra doesn’t look like the real thing, take it to a pharmacy and ask whether you’ve bought a fake. If you do have fakes, dispose of them immediately.
If you have a prescription for Viagra and want to buy it online, choose your online pharmacy carefully. Look for an online pharmacy that is located in the U.S. and has a U.S. address readily available on the site. Always use a valid prescription, and don’t buy Viagra from a site that doesn’t require one. A site that is obviously breaking the law when it takes orders will not hesitate to break the law when it comes to your medication. Another thing to look for is a pharmacy that has been certified as a legitimate virtual pharmacy. These sites will display a Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites logo.
If you can find Viagra online at a better price than your neighborhood pharmacy, that’s reason to celebrate. But, if that price looks just too good to be true, consider the possibility that it is.
