Tens of thousands of baht in
Viagra, Cialis, Kamagra and other drugs have been confiscated in raids of
local pharmacies this month.
Region 2 police raided four Pattaya pharmacies, arresting
owners for allegedly selling real and counterfeit sexual-performance drugs.
Officers raided the Baan Phet Clinic, Pattaya Drugstore,
Merridian and NB pharmacies March 1-3, using a foreign undercover assistant
to purchase Viagra, Kamagra and other erectile dysfunction drugs before
storming the shops once the purchase was complete.
The shopkeepers were taken into custody and charged with
selling prescription drugs over the counter and selling sexual performance
drugs without a license.
Another shopkeeper at NB Pharmacy, on Second Road, faced
the same charges, plus charges of selling counterfeited drugs not licensed
in the kingdom, as the “Viagra” allegedly sold to the foreign helper was
found to be fake, police said.
In each raid, tens of thousands of baht in Viagra,
Cialis, Kamagra and other impotency drugs were confiscated.
