While we complain at Ukmedix News about the proliferation of fake erectile dysfunction medication getting into the United Kingdom we have begun to realise that the problem here is nothing compared to the problem in Africa and other third world countries that have lax border controls and almost non-existent regulatory drug authorities.

Importing fake erectile dysfunction medication into the United Kingdom is not easy especially as scanners have been set up by most postal authorities which can identify medications. Customs officers in many European countries routinely destroy huge batches of fake erectile dysfunction medication coming from China and India.
Recently Ukmedix News came across reports that in the African nation of Ghana the Food and Drug Board had put out a warning saying that men had been dying from using fake impotence meds because of the toxic chemicals that they contained. They also stated that many older men who were suffering from heart attacks could be doing so because of their use of these medicines. One of the impotence medications found in Ghana is called Pentium Viagra which is in packaging that looks like a small laptop computer.
According to officials at the Food and Drug Board the problem has escalated greatly recently and will only get worse if action was not taken quickly. Most people in Ghana have no idea that the active ingredients of Viagra, Cialis and Levitra could have a dangerous effect on people suffering from heart disease and they believed that the pills they were taking were completely natural and herbal and therefore had no side effects.
The United Nations is aware of the huge effect that fake medication of all kind is having in third world countries and it is estimated that as much as 30 percent of medicines in poor countries are fakes.
By purchasing fake erectile dysfunction medication online you are supporting criminal gangs which will use the profits to further undermine and exploit the citizens of third world countries. Terrorist organisations and organised crime gangs use illegal online pharmacies to generate profits to fund their illicit activities.
Ukmedix is one of the few online pharmacy websites based in the United Kingdom which uses real branded erectile dysfunction drugs, makes the use of a doctor to issue prescriptions and even allows you to be 100 percent sure that your medication is genuine by allowing you to see which UK pharmacy it has been dispensed from by using the Pharmacheck system.
