| Australia: Counterfeit Cialis 20mg tablets pose a serious risk to your health and should not be taken |
| |
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has tested a product labelled Cialis 20mg tablets and found that the product is an attempted counterfeit of a genuine product in the marketplace. The tablets present with all of the following features, which differ from the genuine product:
- Use of lot number 05668 at the top of the blister package
- Display of 4 languages on the back of the blister pack instead of 3
- Use of a white, red and black logo stating ‘Lilly ICOS’ on the bottom left of the back of the blister pack
The Cialis 20mg tablets contain the undeclared substance sildenafil. Consumers and medical professionals should be particularly aware of this as genuine products contain the substance tadalafil. Consumers are advised that sildenafil is a prescription-only medicine in Australia.
Please refer to the following website in TGA for details:

In Hong Kong, Cialis Tab 20mg (HK-51229) is a registered pharmaceutical product containing tadalafil. The product is registered by Eli Lilly Asia, Inc., and is a prescription-only medicine. The blister pack of the above-mentioned counterfeit product in Australia is different from the registered blister pack of the product in Hong Kong.
