Buy Viagra Study

A recruitment firm manager who sold fake Viagra over the internet was ordered today to carry out 250 hours of community service.

Father-of-four Mohammed Azim Dad, 30, of Slough in Berkshire, admitted three counts of selling erectile dysfunction medicines with false trademarks. Dad made up to $12,000 of profit selling Viagra, Cialis and Levitra made by unauthorised manufacturers in China, Reading Crown Court was told.

He was caught out by undercover investigators working for the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). Officers posing as customers received the counterfeits from Dad at a meeting in Hayes, west London and later sent by courier to Oxford, the court was told.

Judge May-Jane Mowat, passing sentence, said: “It seems to me that selling fake medical products, bypassing the prescriptive process, makes these offences more serious than selling fake CDs, handbags or whatever it may be.” Remarking that Dad had a business degree and British pharmaceutical qualifications, she added: “You knew exactly what you were doing.”

In another case, a pharmacist who imported more than $200,000 worth of fake Viagra tablets into the UK was told by a judge today that he faced a “substantial” fine. Hitendra Patel, 41, shipped over thousands of the impotency pills from Pakistan which he sold on for profit. A court heard that co-defendant Shaan Hussain, 30, acted as a “broker” to sell the drug to interested buyers.

These two got off light, imo.
