Viagra and Levitra are the most counterfeit drugs on the internet

Beware, 비아그라 판매 (sildenafil), Levitra (vardenafil) and other drugs to treat cases of diagnosed erectile sexual dysfunction or repeated inability to maintain an erection in men, are the most adulterated and counterfeit drugs sold over the Internet , warned the director of Health Control and Surveillance of the General Directorate of Medicines, Supplies and Drugs (Digemid), Percy Ocampo Rujel.

“First, we should all avoid buying medications on the web, much less medications for the treatment of sexual dysfunction such as 비아그라 판매, Levitra or others, which have become very popular, as all of them are restricted in use and require medical evaluation. and the corresponding prior presentation of a medical prescription. Illicit drug dealers over the Internet know this and since they are expensive products they tend to adulterate or counterfeit them more,” he said.

The specialist stressed that, despite the fact that these drugs are intended for cases of diagnosed erectile sexual dysfunction, many young people and healthy adults often acquire them through cyberspace to improve sexual performance without knowing that the indiscriminate use of these products can be harmful. .

"It is known that both 비아그라 판매 and Levitra are medications for cases of diagnosed erectile dysfunction, however the young and adult population usually use these products when they do not deserve it, such as in cases of premature ejaculation or simply for fun, without keep in mind that these drugs can cause adverse effects,” he noted.

Harm due to abuse of these drugs

For his part, the representative of the Digemid Pharmaceutical Care Team, Aldo Alvarez Risco, explained that the indiscriminate use of these drugs without prior medical control can cause visual disturbances, while drugs containing nitrates (as in the case of Isosorbide) used simultaneously with these products interact negatively, producing marked hypotension that can even cause death.

“You have to be careful with the drug interaction of nitrates, because it can cause hypotension, which can lead to death. Likewise, the use of these drugs should be avoided in people suffering from a neurovascular injury, ”he said.

Alvarez also warned that the indiscriminate use of these products can trigger psychological dependence.

“There is an increasing percentage of young people who use these products to face new sexual relationships. These patients do not have a physiological problem, however, by frequently placing their hope in these products, a psychological dependence can be generated, in which the user no longer manages to perform well if he does not use these drugs”, he reported.

The specialist announced that another of the reasons why men use these drugs by purchasing them online is the fear of knowing that they may be suffering from some disorder in their sexual performance, so he urged these people to overcome shame and Rather, go to any health center, hospital and public or private institute to follow an adequate treatment.

“Many men have ejaculation problems but it is not due to a physical issue but rather due to psychological factors (fear) or due to addictions to toxic substances that are inhibitory to sex, such as drugs or alcohol. These products should not be used for recreation, it is irresponsible”, she commented.

Dangerous mixtures

Alvarez also reported that the consumption of substances such as alcohol and drugs mixed with these drugs can also cause brain damage.

"It should be noted that there may be a lesser effect of these substances due to alcohol consumption, which may cause the user to take more doses, exposing himself to a sudden drop in blood pressure," he concluded.
