The Israeli government has been working on a strategy to protect its citizens from a number of fake online pharmacies in Canada, where a pharmacist is supposed to prescribe Viagra.
The Canadian authorities are investigating whether such online pharmacies were operating without prescription and are being used to sell drugs, the government said Tuesday.
The health ministry is working on a plan to curb the spread of fake online pharmacies, but the government is not prepared to comment.
Canadian customs officials said they were considering making an assessment of the number of pharmacies that would be affected.
“Canadian customs officers will continue to look at the risks of such a situation,” said Patrick Coughlin, a spokesman for the Canadian customs office in Ottawa.
“We will continue to take appropriate measures to protect Canadian citizens, including ensuring that our national healthcare system is fully equipped to handle the situation and ensuring that pharmacists and health professionals are always available to help us deal with the situation.”
Coughlin said Canadian customs officials are taking the advice of the Health Canada Office of Import and Export (OHIE).
“We are looking into the matter,” he said, referring to the potential issue of counterfeit pills.
OHIE officials have said the Canadian government is working with Canada’s health authorities and regulatory agency to investigate and address potential violations.
It is not clear if the online pharmacy selling Viagra and other drugs was operating illegally, but the company had said it is doing business with the government’s National Health Service.
“It is our hope that the provincial drug control departments will make it more transparent and resolve this matter,” Coughlin said.
A spokesperson for the Canadian Pharmaceutical Association said the company is working with the government’s Health Canada to address the issue of fake drugs and is working with the Health Canada Ministry to implement a national policy on the sale of counterfeit drugs.
Coughlin said the province of Manitoba is seeking a response from the Canadian government, where it has seen a shortage of Viagra.
“We are working with the Health Canada for a response,” he said.
Coughlin said he also supports the ministry’s role in combating fake online pharmacies.
“We are committed to the prevention and recovery of these products, and we have a responsibility to ensure that these products are safe and appropriate,” Coughlin said.
Coughlin said the ministry is also working with a number of other agencies to prevent fake online pharmacies and to provide the public with timely access to medicine.
“I support the Canadian government in preventing these types of online pharmacy operations from operating illegally, and I look forward to working with them in the future to ensure that Canadian citizens can access safe and effective medicines,” Coughlin said.
Coughlin said he believes the ministry will take action against the online pharmacies, including through an agreement with Health Canada.
“It is very important that these online pharmacies are licensed in Canada, and I strongly encourage them to be,” he said.
Coughlin said the ministry is seeking approval from Health Canada for its involvement in the case.
“As I said, the pharmaceutical industry is on the verge of experiencing an increase in counterfeit drugs worldwide, so I look forward to the opportunity to work with our partners to ensure we can address the growing problem of counterfeit medicines and help restore the health of our communities,” Coughlin said.

A man was arrested on Monday (May 15) after a jury in howling at a Seoul-based police station in June 2013 determined that the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer was illegally selling the erectile dysfunction medicine Viagra in South Korea.
The court heard that Kim Kyung-ijuana, 45, had been a co-owner of an online business called the Blue House, which operates around the South Korean capital and was selling the medicine for erectile dysfunction.
A jury in June in howling at a Seoul-based police station said that the man, who was arrested on Monday, was a "supermarketer" selling Viagra pills at an estimated retail price of almost 2,500 won ($1.9) a tablet.
The man was arrested on June 6 and a second arrest in June for selling the medicine Viagra at a price of around $10.65 a tablet.
The Seoul-based police and prosecutors said that the man had been arrested for allegedly selling the medicine in the market that he was registered in. The South Korean government has denied the allegations but has said that the man was selling the medicine at the market that was registered in. The South Korean government also denied that the man had any knowledge of the sale of the drug.
The South Korean state-owned medicine firm has not commented on the charges.
The Seoul-based police arrested a 23-year-old man in July for selling the drug in Seoul and other South Korean cities and towns.
The man was arrested on June 6 and a second arrest in June for selling the medicine at an estimated retail price of about 2,500 won.
