Following a tip-off from the public, a joint inspection team in Ho Chi Minh City seized about 250 kg of sex boosters including Viagra without documents inside a house. The team, including officers from Ho Chi Minh City Market Management Sub-department, the Economic Investigation Police and the Immigration Department, raided the house at 205A/19 Au Co Street in District 11 yesterday. Inspectors found thousands of cartons and bags containing Viagra pills, which improve men’s sexual life, and other medicines of the same function, including Thinese-whip, Lasting 120 minutes and Super Power Pills. Ms. Zheng Jin Hong, a Chinese national, who managed the medicine at the house, failed to show inspectors any documents related to the drugs. Inspectors seized 3,730 packs of Viagra (four 100 mg tablets per pack), 2,400 packs of Cialis, 210 cartons of Super power pills and hundreds of packs of other medicine. Total weight of the seized medicine is about 250 kg. Inspectors also seized 50 kg of medicine stamps and labels. Hong told inspectors that she delivers these kinds of medicines to pharmacies across the city. Concerned agencies will test all the suspicious medicine to determine their origin and whether they are fake, the team said. The team continues investigating.
