Counterfeit Viagra is all over the internet these days and the only way to know if you have the original Viagra is to do your homework. Viagra sells like hotcakes online because many people are embarrassed to go to the doctor and ask for a medication to treat erectile dysfunction. The fake versions are sold just as successfully because many consumers just don't know any better. Illegal internet pharmacies are popping up all over the place and it is difficult to know which businesses are real.
First of all you have to make sure that you are purchasing your pills from a certified online pharmacy. It is advisable to contact portals like Mixpills.com, to get recommendations for certified online pharmacies.
Only buy from an online pharmacy that provides an address and telephone number. At any authorized online pharmacy, you would be able to speak on the telephone directly with a pharmacist. All of pharmacies listed on our site are certified and sell real brand Viagra from Pfizer.
If you find an email in your inbox trying to sell you Viagra, you can be sure that it is not real. Authorized pharmacies selling the original Viagra would never send you spam. Counterfeit Viagra is not only ineffective; it may actually be dangerous. There have been ingredients like floor polish, arsenic and leaded house paint found in counterfeit drugs and since there is no way to know whether the pills are safe or effective, it is important to be very cautious when shopping for Viagra online.
If you do decide to purchase Viagra online, follow these tips to ensure that what arrives in the mail is the original Viagra:
Original Viagra

All original Viagra packaging is blue and white. The latest version of box design has the picture of a man on a mountain, but you can also get brand Viagra in classic simple white package. The packages have a unique hologram that can tell them apart from the fakes. The pills themselves are packaged in a tamper-resistant blister pack and are only sold in quantities of four and eight. Packages with more than 10 pills are sold in bottle as seen on the picture above. Original Viagra packaging even features high-tech radio frequency transmitters that track the package's journey from the factory to your doorstep so you know that what you are getting is real.
What The Pills
If you order Viagra and receive gel capsules or soft tabs, beware. The original Viagra is only sold as tablets. Original brand Viagra is made only by Pfizer. The pill is blue and says ‘Pfizer' on one side and ‘vgr' followed by the pill strength in milligrams on the other side. The original Viagra is only sold in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg tablets.
In conclusion, buying the original Viagra online is not impossible but it can be difficult if you don't do your homework. Make sure to buy pills only from certified online pharmacies and once they do arrive, double check them and the packaging just to be sure that you are getting the real deal. With extra caution you can protect yourself and still enjoy the convenience and privacy of buying Viagra online.
