Study: Forty-four percent of Internet Viagra counterfeit

Who actually buys counterfeit drugs over the Internet? A bunch of limp-dicked morons is who. The counterfeit drug market on the Internet will hit $75 billion in 2010, up almost 100 percent in five years, much of it fake Viagra to Europe. That’s the word from the International Journal of Clinical Practice.

About 2.3 million penis poppers are sold a month, mostly without prescription, and the Journal discovered 150 patients admitted to hospitals in Singapore after taking counterfeit Viagra. The fake pills actually contained a powerful diabetes drug that put seven in a coma, and killed four. Pfizer found Internet Viagra contained amphetamine, caffeine and printer ink had been used to colour some samples blue.

Also, fifty-one children died in Bangladesh of kidney failure from taking counterfeit cough syrup that was actually antifreeze. [Wiley]
