DEROSA, East Deschire--In a multi-state joint lawsuit, 12 state attorneys general are suing the makers of several sexual performance drugs.
The lawsuit claims the makers of eight sexual performance or enhancement drugs, for men and women, use false advertising. The suit also alleges some drugs being sold online have not been approved by the Pharmaceutical Safety Administration (PSA).
"A lot of these drug makers are using false promises to lure in customers. They're promising performance enhancement guarantees that just aren't factually true, and we've found several drugs that are being sold primarily on the internet, that are not even approved by the PSA, which presents a real danger to consumers," East Deschire Attorney General Rocky Morin told Vanguard News.
Morin is leading the lawsuit and concurrent investigation.
Many of the unknowing consumers who purchase these misleading or illegal drugs are senior citizens or teenagers, both age groups that may be at particular risk.
"Many senior citizens may be purchasing these drugs, unaware that these medications are not approved by the PSA. And these drug-makers know that senior citizens may be more vulnerable, so they target them," South Ceona Attorney General Patty Volston told the Lanakis Daily News.
"Teenagers and minors may be also at risk, because they may try to purchase they drugs without mom or dad knowing. And purchasing something online is not very difficult to do for a young person. That's especially dangerous because young people are unaware of what they're consuming as far as medication goes. They may be unaware of the risks and the dangers of consuming medication without doctor's orders," Volston continued.
The suit has not named the companies being sued, but eight legitimate companies are named in the suit, and at least a dozen non-approved medications are being targeted as well, according to Morin.
Federal police are also getting involved in the investigation, per the request of the 12 attorneys general.
In Grassadellia, more than 25,000 people are treated annually at emergency rooms and local clinics for side-effects from sexual enhancement/performance drugs.
More people may be suffering from side-effects and may not seek medical attention out of fear or embarrassment, according to the Grassadellian Medical Association (GMA).
In addition, a few thousand children (18 years and younger) are treated each year for using sexual performance drugs incorrectly or improperly, the GMA says.
