Cincinnati customs agents seize 8,000 fake pills at CVG

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized a package containing more than 8,000 counterfeit pills at a DHL facility at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.
Officers inspected the package from India, which supposedly contained “harmless generic medicine,” but found the counterfeit Tadalafil tablets instead, according to a news release. Tadalafil is a drug commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction.
Customs and Border Protection has intercepted more than 300 shipments and more than 1,000 pounds of fake, illegal substances this fiscal year at the Cincinnati airport — a 43 percent increase in seizures compared to last fiscal year, according to the release.
