A Slough man has been sentenced to 250 hours of community service after he was found guilty of selling fake Viagra and Cialis over the internet using Ebay

In a sting operation the man was caught out by undercover agents from Eli Lilly, the owner of Cialis. The man, who has been named as Azim Dad, continued to sell the fake and unlicensed generic viagra online while he was under investigation by the Medicines anf Healthcare Regulatory Agency.

Mr Dad's house was raided by police and fake and unlicensed generic viagra with a value of £50,000 was discovered.

This case follows a similar one last week where a registered pharmacist from West London was convicted of importing £200,000 of fake and unlicensed generic viagra from Pakistan.

It is very difficult knowing who to trust when buying medication online but as long as the website is dispensing from a registered UK pharmacy the Viagra supplied should all be genuine.

Pfizer have now put in place a number of safeguards to make it extremenly difficult for counterfeit fake and unlicensed generic viagra to get into the legitimate supply network.

A number of medications now come via a "direct to pharmacy" route, thereby eliminating the possiblility of fake and unlicensed generic viagra getting to a genuine pharmacy.
