New killer counterfeit sexual enhancement pills hit market
The proliferation of counterfeit drugs on the global market and easy availability via online pharmacies is an increasing problem. The makers of counterfeit drugs have enjoyed and profited from loopholes in a system designed to deliver healthy medicines to those in need. The rising cost of prescription medications and the ubiquitous presence of online and overseas pharmacies means more people than ever are threatened by these counterfeiting operations.
HOT on the heels of Power1 Walnut and the counterfeit Cialis comes two other illegal sexual enhancement drugs labelled as 'Santi Bovine Penis Erecting Capsule' (Santi) and Zhong Hua Niu Bian.
They are again made with prescription-only medicine meant to treat diabetes and erectile dysfunction.
More interestingly, peddlers of such drugs have moved from red-light districts to the heartlands.
