Kang Da Illegal Impotence Drug Warning

Another warning has been released by Health Canada about the illegal manufacture of sildenafil citrate which is the active ingredient in the erectile dysfunction medication Viagra. In this instance it appears that an unregistered product is being sold in Canada that is called Kang Da that has not been licenced or properly tested by the relevant authorities. All drugs that are sold in Canada legally will have an eight digit Drug Identification Number on them that marks them out from other illegally sold drugs. It is also likely that this product is being sold online and through the use of Viagra spam emails.
The medication Kang Da is not properly labeled and is being sold as an herbal libido booster when it is clear that the drug sildenafil is present in it and so it is clearly not herbal. The labeling also says that it can cure erectile dysfunction.
The problem of so called natural and traditional remedies for erectile dysfunction being sold with the active ingredient of Viagra in them is not new to Ukmedix and whenever we can we try to warn our readers about the products and the dangers of using them. These illegal products often are made in China and enter the country under the guise of being harmless and not needing drug import licences when in fact they should have them. In fact only the manufacturers of Viagra namely Pfizer are allowed to manufacture sildenafil under the terms of their worldwide patent that has recently been legally established in China following court rulings in Beijing.
At Ukmedix we warn people that by using dubious sounding Chinese medicines they are playing a lottery with their health and they could regret the use of the remedies. Only recently we reported from Rome on the fact that a man died from an overdose of Viagra and these illegal products often contain too much sildenafil or too little of it for it to be effective or safe.
So please watch your health, use your head and only buy the real thing from a licensed pharmacy and with a doctor’s prescription.
