A Toronto convenience store has been selling fake Viagra - Toronto Life

If you live near St. Clair and Runnymede and recently purchased Viagra from your local convenience store, we regret to inform you that no, you actually didn't.

Health Canada issued a public advisory today, alerting consumers that counterfeit Viagra has been seized from Rocky Convenience at 2466 St. Clair Avenue West. The manufacturer of real Viagra confirmed to Health Canada that the store's version was indeed fake.

The advisory didn't specify what may be in the 100-milligram tablets, as they haven't been tested, but said they could contain "dangerous contaminants and hidden ingredients." Anyone who purchased pills from the store should immediately stop using them. The packages have expiry dates of March 2030.

The notice reminds people to buy Viagra from legitimate pharmacies, not from a shop selling knock-off meds alongside scratch tickets and candy. We're no doctors, but this sounds like good advice.
