Seoul cracked down on sex shops selling fake copies of impotence drugs such as Viagra or Cialis, Monday. The city's special judicial police collected samples of erectile dysfunction drugs from 103 sex shops and import traders and performed chemical experiments on them. The result showed that 100 percent of the samples were fakes.
Officials confiscated 3,604 impotence medicines, including 1,795 so-called Viagra pills and 1,809 alleged Cialis pills, from October to November and tested them - all were proven to be counterfeit. Some fake Viagra pills found during the crackdown contained twice more sildenafil, the principal ingredient of the drug, than the original, while others contained none. Among the counterfeit Cialis pills, most did not have enough of its main ingredient, tadalafil.
The shops caught are not allowed to sell drugs, but carried fake impotence pills from illegal importers. They bought the drugs for 800 to 7,700 won and sold them for 5,000 to 20,000 won.
