Britain is being flooded with dangerous fake Viagra pills that could contain printer ink, road paint and even detergents, an expert warned today.

But Dr Bhavini Shah, a GP at Lloydspharmacy Online Doctor, also said 80 per cent of Viagra bought online is 'estimated to be fake' leaving patients vulnerable to potentially contaminated versions. 

While Viagra is available from a pharmacy without prescription for around £4, fake versions can cost as little as £1.
