Bogus Drugs And Counterfeit Viagra In Thailand

[daoyai]

This kind of article is commissioned in regular intervals by the pharma lobby.

Thanks to the pharma lobby's propaganda, even stuff that is working is labelled "fake".

Makes it often difficult to understand what is meant when people say "fake".

4 types of "fake":

- visual copies of the original, same name (i.e. Viagra), similar package, but inactive (contain only sugar or flour in the best case and some nasty lab trash in the worst case)

- visual copies of the original, same name, but with active ingredients that may work, not work as well, or may be wrongly dosed (potentially dangerous, but I have yet to hear about a fatality due to misdosed sildenafil in one pill)

- products that are differently labeled (so not copies or fakes), with or without active ingredients that may work, not work as well, or may be wrongly dosed

- products with their own brand, professionally manufactured and working as the original. Examples: Kamagra, Cialis, etc.

Kamagra and Cialis are not a fakes, they merely contain the same active ingredient "sildenafil" on which Pfizer has a patent and they don't pay the patent fees.

this is the real story as far as the E.D. drugs. They are unliscensed generics. sildenafil is cheap in India so Kamagra hurts Pfizer.
