In an effort to stop the amount of counterfeit Viagra that is being sold, Pfizer has adopted strict measures. Now all packages of Viagra made be Pfizer will be tagged with RFID technology. Pfizer hopes this will help stop the illegal sale of the popular pill prescribed for impotence.
The ID tags created by Pfizer will be a block “for criminals who might attempt to counterfeit our products”, the company stated.
People should as pharmacists and wholesalers will be given a RFID tag reader that will be able to send data to the Internet to Pfizer’s webpage to verify if the Viagra is authentic or not.
There have been a number of lawsuits in the past by Pfizer, against individuals selling Viagra illegally.
