Fake Viagra Trafficker’s Face Prosecution

Seven accused of running a fake Viagra ring are going to face prosecution in the near future. Wang Yinliang, 47, and six other suspects are believed to have produced and sold fake versions of the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra in Zhengzhou in Central China’s Henan Province, according to Zhang Shujun, vice-director of the Zhengzhou Municipal Bureau of Public Security.

Wang and the gang are accused of selling 9.7 million worth of fake tablets of erectile dysfunction drug Viagra between the end of 2003 and August 2005. They’ve made a whopping profit of 730,000 yuan (US$90,000) from the illegal production and sales. Zhang and his colleagues raided the hideout for its production in Zhengzhou in September and all of the suspects were caught at site. Quantities of semi-completed versions of the drug were also discovered in the procedure.

Erectile Dysfunction Is Linked To Heart Disease….

Men who become impotent have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular problems than those who have normal sexual function, according to a study. Impotence or erectile dysfunction is linked to a 27 percent higher risk of heart- related events such as angina, heart attack or stroke. The link was similar to those found with high cholesterol, cigarette smoking or a family history of heart attacks.

The study is the first to show a strong association between erectile dysfunction and heart disease according to researchers. The findings emphasizes on the fact that doctors should evaluate the cardiovascular health of men who seek impotence drugs such as Pfizer Inc.’s Viagra. Erectile function is a vascular process therefore it’s not surprising that you might see a problem with blood-vessel health earlier with sexual function than with the heart.
