£2m worth of counterfeit Viagra uncovered in Kashmir

A large shipment of ‘Himalayan Viagra’ has been uncovered by police in Kashmir. The haul was made during a planned raid, to combat the rise in illegal trade of a rare fungal plant, thought to possess a number of properties that have been proven to aid with erectile functioning and to increase sex drive. Authorities were able to seize £2m worth of the plant (90kg) which has since been impounded by Indian police.

A cartel of four are said to have been smuggling the Viagra into China where their street value is thought to treble. This is however, purely academic, given that the fake versions of the popular impotence pill are are without any positive effects and have not been shown to help with erectile dysfunction to any degree.

It comes shortly after the MHRA announced that the trade of fake medication is worth up to £50 million in the UK alone. The MHRA also claims that the Kamagra is by far the most common of all fake Viagra medications. The problem being, the cheap price and easy access makes them a tempting proposition for people who suffer with erectile dysfunction. Their availability on the internet also appears to reduce the embarrassment factor although many people fail to consider the health implications a fake drug can cause.
