"Health Canada has issued a public advisory after a convenience store in Toronto sold fake erectile dysfunction drugs to customers. Rocky Convenience, located at St. Clair Avenue W and Runnymede Road, allegedly carried counterfeit Viagra and Cialis, the public health agency said in the advisory, which was originally published in November but updated to include photos and more content Friday."
"The affected products include 100 mg sildenafil tablets with no lot number and the expiry date of March 2030. According to Health Canada, the foil blister pack's expiry date is printed with the incorrect format. As well, 20 mg tadalafil tablets with the lot number 05668 and an expiry date of April 2028 have been seized, the agency said. Customers who have purchased the drugs are asked to stop the use immediately and dispose of them safely."
"Health Canada said the manufacturers of Viagra and Cialis have confirmed the seized products are counterfeit. Fake drugs are made to look authentic but are not the same and may pose serious health risks, Health Canada said in its advisory. The sale of counterfeit health products is illegal in Canada. Fake drugs have not been assessed by Health Canada for safety or quality and can have no medicine component, a higher dosage than shown on the label or dangerous contaminants and hidden ingredients."
