Generic
Cialis
The facts concerning
Generic Cialis - any Cialis Buying Guide would not be
complete without mentioning the topic of Generic Cialis. Lilly
introduced Cialis in April of 2005 and still has the patent on brand
name Cialis and Tadalafil, the primary ingredient in brand
name Cialis. Tadalafil is the generic term for Cialis.
However, Lilly still owns the patent for Cialis Therefore, a
generic version of Cialis cannot be sold in Europe. Websites pedaling
a generic version of Cialis are violating the law and this "generic
Cialis drug" is not approved by the NHS. Some 99.9 percent of
the websites offering a "generic Cialis" that we researched were
located outside of Europe. This is relevant secondary to the fact
that Customs will stop any generic version of Cialis from entering Europe.
Just think about the facts, Lilly has all the rights to both
Tadalafil (the active ingredient in Cialis) and brand name
Cialis. They sold some 125 million dollars worth of Cialis do you
think they do not pressure authorities to stop the market for the
counterfeit Cialis, imagine the tax dollars Lilly pays on these
profits, therefore, the pull they have with the various government
agencies?
Safety
of the "generic Cialis"-
If the generic version of Cialis is not
available secondary to patent laws why do I see advertisements for
"Generic Cialis, Tadalafil", "Generic Cialis, Sildenafil Citrate",
"Generic Reductil, Sibutramine" online? The answer is some countries
do not honor patent laws. Most forged generic drugs manufactured
outside international patent laws are manufactured by "pirate
pharmaceutical companies" in countries, such as, India.
Under current Indian law, which recognizes
patent laws only on the manufacturing procedure to make drugs but not
the drugs themselves. This means that "pirate pharmaceutical
companies" in India can make drugs under patent, provided they use a
manufacturing process that is different from the original brand name
medication. These "pirate pharmaceutical companies" are
making so called generic drugs using a different method of
manufacturing than the original brand name medication. The
difference in manufacturing policies can often result in inferior or
possibly unsafe drugs.
In addition, in many of these countries that
allow "pirate pharmaceutical companies" to essentially break
international patent laws and manufacture drugs that are still under
patent there are very few if any quality control regulations. This
means these rogue manufacturers can do as they please with regards to
safety standards. Just something to think about prior to buying drugs
form these rogue internet websites.

Concerning buying
generic drugs online

In addition, since these
"pirate pharmaceutical companies" must manufacture their drugs in
countries that do not adhere to patent laws and/or have very limited
quality control regulations so the medications must be imported into
Europe. Therefore, they are not shipping within the European Union so
they are subject to import tariffs or worse they are denied entry into
the country and the drugs are either destroyed or returned to the
sender.
If an individual does
his or her research prior to buying these counterfeit drugs from these
rogue internet pharmacies, somewhere on the website in very small
print there will be disclaimers stating that the "pirate
pharmaceutical companies" are not responsible for lost orders,
tariffs, or seized orders by customs.
The following represents an actual
disclaimer from one of these rogue websites:
You are fully responsible for all taxes,
duties, tariffs and customs laws imposed on all drug imports to your
country. We cannot be held responsible or accountable for any costs
that you have incurred in relation to your order. If an order is
destroyed or seized, you will not receive a refund. This
means even if you pay by credit card and you receive no product you
may have a difficult time issuing a chargeback (try to stop the
charges on your credit card). Please do not send cash, check, or money
orders we have had several recent complaints concerning fraud with
these foreign websites.
All pharmacies mentioned in this buying guide are following
the specific regulations set forth by the Medicines and Healthcare
Products Regulatory Agency (Europe), United States Food and Drug
Administration, and National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory
Authorities (NAPRA), Canada.
