Examine the packaging carefully. Poor quality printing, blurry text, or misspelled words are major red flags. Legitimate pharmaceutical companies use high-quality printing.
Packaging Discrepancies
- Unprofessional Appearance: Look for mismatched fonts, colors, or logos. A professional appearance is a key indicator of authenticity. Missing Information: The lack of crucial details like manufacturer information, batch numbers, or expiry dates signals a problem. Always check for a clear, legible label. Unusual Materials: Packaging that feels cheap or uses unusual materials might suggest a counterfeit product. Compare it to images of genuine Viagra packaging. Damaged Packaging: Significant damage to the box or blister pack, beyond minor transit wear, raises suspicion. Damage could indicate tampering.
Unusual Features
Pay close attention to these features:
Incorrect Pill Shape or Color: Compare the pills’ appearance to images of genuine Viagra tablets found on reputable sources. Discrepancies raise serious concerns. Uneven Pill Imprints: Legitimate pills will have consistently clear and sharp imprints. Blurred or inconsistent imprints indicate potentially counterfeit production. Discrepant Labeling: Check the labeling for inconsistencies with images of genuine products. Compare font types, sizes, and placement. Strange Odor or Texture: Genuine Viagra should have a consistent odor and texture. Anything unusual can indicate adulteration.
