Thailand moves to end Viagra black market Monday August 10, 10:25 am Eastern Time BANGKOK, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Thailand will authorise the sale of Viagra next week to end the trafficking and misuse of the anti-impotence pill, Thai Secretary-General of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Mongkol Na Songkhla said on Monday. Mongkol said there was widespread smuggling of genuine and fake Viagra into Thailand because of misconceptions it was an aphrodisiac but dismissed reports Thailand was a production centre for fake Viagra. ''So in order to end the misuse of the drug and stop the black market, we will register the drug and educate the people,'' Mongkol told Reuters. The FDA, which launched a crackdown on the Viagra black market and confiscated nearly 200 fake and genuine tablets in the past week, is set to register a prescription licence for Viagra next week. The drug is made by U.S. firm Pfizer. ''We will give a licence to distribute Viagra on August 18, and after that the company will have to pay for an education project to give information to the public about the drug before they can distribute under doctor's prescription,'' Mongkol said. ''There are some misperceptions over the drug among consumers here,'' Monkol said. ''People believe Viagra is a sex drug and this misunderstanding has led to heavy desire for it in the black market.'' He said the black market cost of Viagra of about 1,000 baht ($23.80) per tablet would be cut to 300-400 baht once it was legalised. Mongol said half of the Viagra distributed illegally in Thailand was fake but said it did not come from inside the country. ''The reports that Thailand is a centre for producing fake Viagra are not true. We have siezed Viagra from the harbours and airports and found that it is shipped in from other countries,'' Mongkol said. A British television broadcast said last month that Thailand was a major centre for producing fake Viagra. Mongkol said the number of Thai impotence cases had been steady at around 400,000 for the past few years. ($1 equals 42 baht) biz.yahoo.com
