Health Canada says it has seized counterfeit Viagra and Cialis tablets sold at a convenience store in Toronto.
The federal agency said the 100 mg Viagara, or sildenafil, pills and the 20 mg Cialis, or tadalafil, pills were sold at Rocky Convenience, located on St. Clair Avenue West, near Runnymede Road.
“The manufacturers of Viagra and Cialis have confirmed that the seized product are counterfeit,” a public advisory issued by Health Canada read.
The Viagara has an expiry date with an incorrect format printed on the foil blister pack reading, " EXP 0 32030," and the Cialis is listed as “Lot 05668, expiry 04-2028.”
Health Canada had previously seized fake Viagara from the same convenience store last month.
The latest seizure marks the fourth time this year counterfeit Viagara has been found in a GTA store by the agency.
“Like the authentic version, the seized products are labelled to contain either the prescription drug sildenafil or tadalafil,” Health Canada said. “Sildenafil and tadalafil should be used only under the supervision of a health care professional.”
Anyone who purchased either product at Rocky Convenience should “immediately stop using” them and safely dispose of the tablets, the federal agency said.
