Mohammed Azim Dad from Slough, UK pleaded guilty to three counts under the Trade Marks Act 1994 relating to counterfeit Viagra, Cialis and Levitra at Reading crown court.
The case was brought against him following an investigation by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
Mr Dad was charged in November 2005 after he was caught selling the counterfeit products to undercover agents from Eli Lilly, which markets Cialis.
Later, in an interview with the MHRA, Mr Dad admitted to buying Viagra and Cialis from China and selling them on auction website eBay for GBP4.00. Mr Dad pleaded guilty to selling a large quantity of the medicines, worth an estimated GBP20,000. The counterfeit medicines did not contain the correct amount of the active ingredient.
