men were embarrassed to get a proper prescription

The Swiss government is getting seriously worried after statistics show that the importation of counterfeit and illegal medications into the country has risen by a whopping 75 percent over the last six months. As expected, fake versions of the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra were the most commonly intercepted drugs followed by a vast array of different weight loss and slimming products.

The Swiss Agency for Therapeutic Products said that it is estimated that about 50,000 packages of fake drugs make their way into Switzerland every year and that the problem is increasing fast. Ruth Mosimann, who heads the health division which seeks to control illegal drugs said that part of the increase could be down to Swiss Customs authorities becoming more aware and vigilant of the problem, which was leading to more package interceptions.

Ms Mosimann explained that people who ordered these medications were putting their health in danger, but was also conscious of the reasons why people did utilize these illegal web sites. She highlighted that the very cheap cost of fake Viagra drugs and the fact that many men were embarrassed to get a proper prescription as being the main motivations.

Ms Mosimann said that she was surprised that her investigation has led to finding out that many of the men who ordered from these websites were unaware that firstly the products were extremely dangerous and that secondly it was illegal to order certain compounds and chemicals into Switzerland without the correct permits.

Something which we have campaigned for long and hard at Ukmedix News is for doctors to be more aware of medical problems which are often termed as lifestyle issues such as erectile dysfunction, weight loss, premature ejaculation and hair loss. Because these problems come with a certain amount of embarrassment men and women try and self medicate by going online and end up with poor advice and substandard medication.

It is possible to have an online consultation at Ukmedix with a UK registered doctor who will be able to decide whether you should receive a prescription for genuine, legal and authentic medications for whatever you are suffering from whether it is erectile dysfunction, obesity or hair loss. You can even verify that your medication comes from a UK based pharmacy using Pharmacheck.
