Pfizer sells Viagra online to combat cheap and risky counterfeits

Pfizer is to start selling Viagra online in an effort to take on the glut of websites selling counterfeit and potentially dangerous erectile dysfunction medication for a knock-down price.

Until now men who needed the little blue pills were forced to either go to their chemist or turn to unregulated websites.

Often the medicine being sold for up to 95% less than the standard price contains unregulated amounts of the active ingredient or are supplemented by products including lead paint and printer ink.
