'Traditional medicine' factory raided

THE NATION

PATHUM THANI: -- Food and Drug Administration officials and police raided a traditional medicine factory in Pathum Thani's Khlong Luang district that was producing pills for erectile dysfunction, FDA chief Dr Boonchai Somboonsuk said yesterday.

In the Monday raid, officials seized pills worth Bt2,475,000 and ordered that the Thanat Herb Panich factory be closed for 120 days or until it complied with the law.

Prior to the raid, the pills were sent for lab tests and were found to contain sildenafil, the chemical compound used in Viagra. Sildenafil can be harmful if not taken under prescription.

The products were reportedly advertised under the Yin Pang Pang and Well101 brands, with cable-TV commercials making exaggerated claims. In addition, the medicines' registration numbers were for a type of balm. The mixing of modern medicine into a drug branded as traditional could be within the frame of fake drugs, Boonchai said.

Perfect combination. Fake erectile drugs to go along with the fake women who pretend that they care about the old farangs who use them .

Quote 'It could be within the frame of fake drugs' but we'll need to say if he can pay the BIB imposed fine first.

"Sildenafil can be harmful if not taken under prescription." Get a prescription and you are protected from any harmful effects .... What a crock ....

[fareastguy]

T.I.T

Sildenafil can be harmful if not taken under prescription.

And so is many, many other drugs but a person in Thailand can walk into any pharmacy and get most any drug under the sun without a prescription (which is fine with me).

[1weatherman]

As the police raid lasted more than 4 hours, it was suggested that the police seek medical attention.

[jaltsc]

There was some suspicion that the police imbibed in the confiscated drugs when they all appeared to be 3 inches taller after exiting the factory .

"Traditional" medicine factory. Closed for 120 days. These Thais. Unbelievable remarkable stories about themselves.

[ratcatcher]

YIN BANGBANG. Must have employed a New York agency to get that catchy name. My god!

Organic Product For Men

Shouldn't that be Product For Mens Organs?

Nothing organic about Slidenafil.

Not a crock. It's traditional Thai logic.Which in itself is...

Your doctor is not going to give you a prescription if you have high blood pressure. There is protection in not being able to get a prescription.

Viagra actually drops blood pressure so is dangerous to take if you have low blood pressure or are taking other drugs to treat high blood pressure as it will lower it even further

Another crock of BS. Only `western` Dr. know anything at all. Yet Dr's kill more people is the US every year, than all the gun's and car wrecks put together. Most Prescriptions are for, only making money, for Dr.s, Pharmacy company, lawyers and government (taxes and fines.

Apparently the police had hard evidence ...

[Rancid]

Sadly Thai greed wrecks the image of traditional Thai medicines, apparently there are some quite interesting ones.

So can't stand to attention? Personal fitness would be one solution even aside from the ongoing positive effects on your whole system, popping viagra is the easy way if fitness if a just a memory of 40 years ago reminised on a bar stool.

I would not be considered a fan of doctors by any stretch of the imagination but I wouldn't mind seeing some facts and figures backing up youy statememnt, " Yet Dr's kill more people is the US every year, than all the gun's and car wrecks put together."

Could be true but .... Just curious where that bit of info comes from.

The situation is being handled as we speak.

[scotto]

I beleive they were a bit STIFF to get caught?

But if they fix the bib up then

it should all die down fairly quickly

Or they suffered with stiff necks after 'testing' the odd one or two!

German scientists have made a surprising discovery that could give Viagra a new use: Lab experiments involving mice have found the popular potency pill may also be a powerful fat-fighter that can promote weight loss.

Researchers from the University of Bonn found Viagra converts unhealthy “white fat” cells into calorie-burning “brown fat” and has the potential to “melt the unwelcome spare tire" around the midriff. In addition, Viagra (sildenafil) decreases the risk of other complications caused by obesity, according to the study, published in the Journal of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology.

"Sildenafil is not only able to minimize erectile problems, but it can also reduce the risks of gaining excessive weight," said lead researcher Alexander Pfeifer, M.D., director of the Institute for Pharmacology and Toxicology at the University of Bonn. "This is why sildenafil was a potentially interesting candidate for us."

Presumably the raid was done to avoid future stick ups ?

[surangw]

were they hardened criminals, and will they get a stiff sentence ?
