Don't take risks

Viagra is one of the world's most counterfeited medications. If you obtain your medication through illegitimate channels, you are putting yourself at risk.

The safest way of getting a prescription is usually through a face-to-face consultation with a doctor, nurse or other registered healthcare professional. However, some healthcare providers can provide genuine medical care online.

Online Pharmacy Logo
There are also a number of legitimate GB online pharmacies which are registered with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (RPSGB). Many of these sites display the RPSGB logo and registration number. Please note, not all registered internet pharmacies will display this logo but the logo is a good indication that the pharmacy could be legitimate.

You can guarantee the pharmacy is legitimate by clicking the logo. This will take you to the RPSGB's register of premises, where you can see for certain that the pharmacy you are buying from is genuine.

But the legitimate websites are in the minority. The vast majority of websites that sell 'medications' for erection problems are unqualified and, in fact, selling fakes. So please be vigilant.

Viagra fakes/counterfeits may:

  • Interact with other medications you are taking, or cause an allergic reaction
  • Contain toxic substances
  • Contain too much, too little or no active ingredient
  • Contain a wide range of other substances such as talcum powder and commercial-grade paint
  • Be manufactured in unregulated facilities, which are not sterile or hygienic. In fact, many counterfeit medicines are made in easily contaminable 'back-street laboratories'
