THE REAL Viagra is made by drugs company Pfizer

Five people have been found guilty of conspiracy to supply millions of pounds worth of counterfeit Viagra.

Police say the convictions at Kingston Crown Court are the result of the biggest counterfeit drugs bust in British history.

One of the gang claimed he was working for drugs company Pfizer, but he was trapped after being filmed by undercover investigators.

The drugs were made in India, China and Pakistan before being sent to the UK.
A chance interception by UK customs officers of a parcel containing 12,000 fake Viagra tablets addressed to gang member Gary Haywood led to a huge investigation spanning three continents.

Large quantities of the counterfeit drugs were shipped into the UK from factories abroad, before being repackaged and sold over the internet to customers in Britain, the US, Canada and the Bahamas.

Viagra is prescribed to treat men suffering from impotence or erectile dysfunction.

But Sarah Jarvis from the Royal College of General Practitioners warned against taking counterfeit drugs.
