Chairman of the Royal College of GPs, Professor Steve Field, says the only way for anyone to safely buy legitimate Generic ED Meds is to talk to their GP or pharmacist first

GPs have always known that buying Generic ED Meds and other medication from the internet is a potential minefield and recent studies are showing just how risky it is.

A shocking survey has confirmed buying Generic ED Meds is a major problem.

A poll in GP magazine found that one in four GPs have treated patients for adverse reactions to buying Generic ED Meds online.

In addition, 85% of doctors surveyed believe there needs to be more regulation for buying Generic ED Meds online.

Whatever the true scale of the problem, the danger of buying generic viagra and other drugs from a non-professional source is obvious.

Counterfeit medication is common when buying Generic ED Meds and you just do not know what is going to be in those little pills - it could be anything from sugar to rat poison.

Buying Generic ED Meds and other products online can do harm.

The medication might be impure and have a higher dosage than expected, and the risk of side effects of buying viagra, overdose and/or interaction with other medication is worrying.

For example, weight loss drugs have clear criteria for pharmacists to sell or GPs prescribe. They should only be used by patients with a certain body mass index and have to be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise. The absorption of fat soluble vitamins can have nasty side-effects and could be abused by children or those with eating disorders.

The same goes for buying viagra.

Patients might not know what dose they have taken, and buying viagra can interact with other drugs to have side effects which can include raising blood pressure, headaches and the potential for sudden hearing loss.

There are a number of reasons why people might turn to the internet for buying viagra & other medication.

Aggressive advertising campaigns and stories on "wonder" weight loss pills in magazines can tempt people to bypass their GP or pharmacist.

We are even seeing unscrupulous operators preying on fears over swine flu, targeting the vulnerable and insecure with fake Tamiflu. My advice to people thinking about buying Viagra & other drugs online is simple - talk to your GP or pharmacist. Your regular doctor knows you, your background and your health history.

Everybody is different. I know that some issues can be embarrassing to talk about, but believe me, we have heard it all before. Your GP is there to be non-judgmental, supportive and helpful.

Viagra can achieve great results as long as they are prescribed and used properly.

Your health is far too important to play around buying viagra.
