According to a survey by the

National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) , only 3% of websites selling medicines online are legitimate pharmacies, and about half of them formulate medicines outside the United States. It is said that it handles drugs that are not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration . This means that 97% of stores selling medicines online do not meet the standards of online pharmacies, and NABP 'does not recommend' purchasing at such pharmacies.

There are 24 million searches for Viagra annually, and many people are interested in it, but the current situation of online sales is that there are many fake medicines. In 2011, Pfizer Global Security searched online for 'buy Viagra' and found 22 websites dealing with Viagra, which is said to have the same ingredients as Pfizer, at the top of the search results. 80% of Viagra was a fraudulent drug and contained only 30-50% of the original active ingredient sildenafil citrate.

Furthermore, according to a laboratory investigation, some of the fraudulent medicines had incorrect label ingredient lists and contained wall materials, commercial paints, pesticides, printer ink, and so on.

This is the site where fraudulent drugs are dispensed.

Where on earth is the factory ...? It's a photo that makes you think.

In a 2011 ED survey of 1,000 American men, four out of five men (about 82%) found it difficult to determine if a pharmacy on the Internet was legitimate. It seems that one in three people (about 36%) will consider purchasing medicines for ED such as Viagra based on online searches. Pfizer says it will continue its efforts to spread legitimate medicines globally to prevent consumers from becoming prey to these fraudulent medicines.

Pfizer's new direct sales site 'viagra.com' guides users to a site operated by CVS / Pharmacy , a major American pharmacy chain. A prescription is required to purchase Viagra and medical insurance is also available. In addition, Pfizer seems to be considering expanding the target of online sales to drugs other than Viagra in the future.
