THE Therapeutic Goods Administration has highlighted an attempted counterfeit of erectile dysfunction medication Cialis 20mg, which after testing has been found to contain the undeclared substance sildenafil, rather than tadalafil as is included in the genuine product.
The fake tablets have not been tested for safety or efficacy, with distinguishing features including the use of lot number 05668 at the top of the blister package, the display of four languages on the back of the blister pack rather than three, and the use of a white, red and black logo stating "Lilly ICOS" on the blister pack's rear.
