Health Canada warns consumers after fake Viagra and Cialis pills were discovered at a store in the Junction area. The unauthorized sexual enhancement pills were found at Rocky Convenience on St. Clair Avenue West and have been removed from shelves.
If you have purchased these products, Health Canada advises you to stop using them immediately and dispose of them safely. It is recommended to seek advice from a healthcare professional if you have consumed these counterfeit pills and are experiencing any health issues. The official recommendation is to only purchase prescription medications from licensed pharmacies.
Both the manufacturers of Viagra and Cialis have verified that the seized pills are indeed counterfeit, according to Health Canada. Selling unauthorized health products in Canada is against the law, although no information has been provided yet regarding possible criminal charges in this case.
Counterfeit drugs may resemble authentic medications, but they can pose significant health risks as they have not undergone evaluation by Health Canada for their safety, effectiveness, and quality. These fake products could contain harmful ingredients.
