Don’t mess with viagra

Mr Polania suffered an erection for days, before heading to hospital where doctors found his penis to be “inflamed and showing signs of gangrene”, according local newspaper La Nacion.

Doctors were then forced to amputate Mr Polania’s penis in an effort to stop the gangrene from spreading.

Just last week, a 25 year-old man from Yemen died from a Viagra overdose, after taking five pills at once on his wedding night.

It might be very interesting to see the results of the international abuse of Viagra.

  1. Taking more than the recommended dose of any drug is pretty dumb. Drugs with this kind of potential should only be available from a doctor, who can explain the risks.

    And I’m wondering why a 25 year-old would think he needed Viagra in the first place?

  2. I can’t think of any other drug that has attracted so much humour. It is possibly being regarded more as a party pill rather than a pharmaceutical.

  4. @1 “And I’m wondering why a 25 year-old would think he needed Viagra in the first place?”

    The insert may answer this question.
