Home » Reader question » Reader question: How do I know if I am buying real Kamagra (gel)?
Dear readers,
I regularly buy Kamagra (gel) at the pharmacy in Pattaya. But how do I know if I'm getting the real one? Almost everything is counterfeit these days. So you never know if you are buying the original. Or can that be seen? I always buy it in a store and not on the street.
I'm a heart patient so I don't want counterfeit junk.
Regards,
French
Editors: Do you have a question for the readers of Thailandblog? Use it contact form..
Pills are cheaper, melt them in small pieces under your tongue and keep them in your mouth for 10-15 minutes. Then rinse with a glass of water. Works just as well as gel.
Well, what is counterfeit? I buy them very cheaply, on the street, usually from a regular 'dealer' and it's great stuff (2 times from another one, was also good).
Good chance that the 'original' in the pharmacy come from the same factory as the 'counterfeit' on the street. They may be exactly the same.
Kamagra is a (generic) counterfeit version of Viagra and is produced by Ajanta Pharma. The medicine, like Pfizer Viagra, has sildenafil as the active ingredient.
Ajanta Farma is a very large Indian pharmaceutical manufacturer. How to verify if you get "original" kamagra is the answer short. Can't really verify. If your pharmacist is trustworthy, and why not, and if they use regulated official purchasing channels, you should be fine. That's the short answer.
A medicine is developed by a company. Actually initially conceived, In this case Pfizer. If it seems to work, it is tested on many people on all kinds of points such as the correct dose, efficacy, side effects, etc. It is then brought to the government, which reviews the entire file and finally, after many questions and answers, accepts it. for the market. All this takes years and an incredible amount of money. Therefore, the inventor gets a patent for a number of years to cover expenses and make a profit. Usually around twenty years old. Many comments can be made, but in this context one matter is of great importance. The active substance has been invented!!! Simply by chemists who know how to make certain substances. So they are usually not substances that are already present in nature. The preparation of such a (chemical) substance is a complicated process that involves many by-products, unwanted by-products. These should be avoided as much as possible! Work for chemistry again. But rarely is the desired chemical (drug) at the end of the process 100,00%. There are always by-products involved. That is why the government determines the maximum amount of each of the unwanted but unavoidable by-products that may be present. The medicine is now given its own name, devised by experts, which is easy to listen to and acceptable in all countries. And the marketing can begin.
The development of a medicine is an extremely expensive matter. Costs many years and many millions of euros. That is why the manufacturer gets a patent and exclusive rights. Often 20 years. In time he must have recovered the costs and a profit. After the patent period expires, anyone can make and sell it. But the brand name appears to be the property of the original company. The “counterfeiters” are therefore also allowed to market it and often come up with their own, easy to remember name. For example, aspirin, which has acetosal as its substance name, was developed by, I believe Boeringer.
Today it is available under many names. Aspro bv.Everyone is trying to get their name on the consumer's mind. Then they can ask a slightly higher price than unbranded ones! Think of brand watches or brand perfumes. It's just marketing!!
India is one of the most important countries where generic medicines are produced. I have visited few times. Is a pharmaceutical giant !
Alanta sells and produces medicines for many brands, which are then sold under someone else's name. But it also has products that they market themselves! Kanagra is such a product. The European pharmaceutical market is highly regulated and controlled. However, there are many markets that are much less strict or hardly controlled. So lower quality requirements, more contaminants are possible there. All Indian manufacturers have different qualities for different markets.
Finally, if you say: I only want the "real" kamagra, you are actually saying something like when you say: I want a real copy of rembrand.
But I expect that the quality in Thailand is okay. And that the pharmacists only buy through reliable and controlled channels!
If you are really in doubt, you can always write to the manufacturer, in this case Ajanta Farma in India. I don't know if you'll get an answer.
