UK Regulators Warn Of Illegal Selling Of Prescription Drugs

Ukmedix welcomes the clampdown by the UK authorities on the illegal trading online of prescription drugs  As many people have found out buying prescription drugs online without the information required about the drugs and also without the request for a prescription is very dangerous and many of the stories of people who have been ripped off never make the light of day as the victims are too embarassed about their folly. The biggest selling internet drug in the world is Viagra as many people are too embarassed to go to a doctor face to face and talk about erectile dysfunction.

The UK authorities following a large scale investigation recently said that buying online drugs without proper advice and a prescription meant that you were playing Russian Roulette with your health. The UK authorities said that many of the drugs that they came across in their research were counterfeit and were likely to have been made in illicit labs that have no proper health and safety checks and do not conform to the standards of the originals. They even went onto say that in their experience there was a 25% chance that no drugs would arrive at the destination but your credit card would be charged nevertheless.

Almost 30 establishments in the UK were shut down earlier this month and many people were arrested and charged with the illegal supply of prescription drugs in a move that was welcomed by Ukmedix and other legally compliant online sellers of prescription drugs. Most of these online companies were selling erectile dysfunction medication such as Levitra, Cialis and of course the famous Viagra.

The medical authorities said that very little information was given on the websites and in the packaging of the drugs if they were actually sent and this was very dangerous as side effects were not properly explained and understood. In some cases the actual drug that arrived contained no active ingredients and was purely a fake tablet. The Royal College of General Practitioners welcomed the move to clamp down on the illegal trade of these drugs and said that incorrect doses of these drugs was very dangerous and could happen if a doctors advice was not taken.
