A judge in the United States of America has sentenced an Indian doctor to 30 years in prison for being the head of a Viagra smuggling operation which is thought to have supplied thousands of American citizens erectile dysfunction medication illegally.

The sentencing judge Paul Diamond said that the evidence was “overwhelming” and accused the defendant Dr Akhil Bansal of distributing poison throughout America. Bansal claimed that he was not aware that it was a serious crime to distribute prescription medication without a prescription which was completely refuted by the court as he was a doctor who could hardly claim that he did not know what the law was when it came to prescription medications.
An accomplice and a friend of Dr Bansal was given a fifteen year prison sentence for helping in the operation which organised the supply of, the sale and the distribution of the Viagra to the customers in America. Cases like this highlight that the majority of the Viagra drug sold online is counterfeit and is made in substandard conditions in countries like India and China where rules on pharmaceutical manufacture and operations are rarely enforced. At Ukmedix News we have made a large effort in the last year to highlight the dangers of using fake Viagra and other erectile dysfunction medication.
You must never buy Viagra or any other drug from a website that does not first require a prescription. You should also be able to make telephone calls to the company involved as well as identify the UK pharmacy from where your medicine is coming from. Some websites while appearing to be based in the United Kingdom are in fact based in countries outside the jurisdiction of the Medicines & Healthcare Regulatory Agency of the UK.
