Generic Viagra

A doctor in the southern Indian state of Kerala has unleashed a medical controversy by using the anti-impotence drug Viagra to treat new-born babies.

Dr P.K. Rajiv, head of the neo-natal care unit at the Amrita Institute of Medical Science, used the drug to treat three babies born with pulmonary hypertension, a lung condition.

The private institute in the city of Cochin said the unorthodox treatment saved the lives of the children.

But the doctor and the institute are now being accused of carrying out the experiment without asking proper permission from the relevant authorities.

Public interest

The controversy has provoked tremendous public interest as it follows a recent row over improper and unauthorized medical trials at the Regional Cancer Centre in the state capital Trivandrum. The anti-Viagra campaign is headed by a medical non-governmental organisation, Health Action by People (HAP).

The group’s spokesman, CR Somani said Dr Rajiv’s methods raised several ethical questions.

“To my knowledge it has not been endorsed by any regulatory body,” he said, adding that negative side-effects might take time to surface.

‘Emergency drug’

However, Dr Rajiv insisted that the treatment was not dangerous.

“The drug was used on the two babies after all other treatments had failed”, he said.

He also said that the treatment was not administered as part of any clinical trial programme, but as an emergency life saving measure.

Dr Rajiv said that he had discovered the life-saving properties of Viagra through research and that it was much cheaper than other conventional therapies.

He said he used the treatment for the first time in May last year, when a baby, barely a few hours old, was brought to him with severe breathing difficulties.

KUTCHER: ‘I’M NOT ADDICTED TO VIAGRA’

Movie heart-throb ASHTON KUTCHER has laughed off reports he is addicted to Viagra, despite admitting he has illegally indulged in the sex enhancement drug.

The THAT ‘70S SHOW star, 27, used the stimulant several years ago, before he began dating current lover DEMI MOORE in 2003.

Kutcher says, “I tried it, but I’m not addicted.

“I haven’t taken it in years. I took it a few times recreationally. It’s illegal (without prescription), but I’ve taken it.

“When I was a bit more sexually recreational - when you’re involved with multiple people - it helps.”

I started having an affair with a younger, super-sexy co-worker about two months ago. I was very nervous and had tremendous anxiety about going to bed with her. Sure enough, the first time we tried I could not perform. I felt worthless and could not believe that I blew an opportunity to be with a woman so incredibly beautiful. I decided to give Viagra a try and discreetly ordered 5 100mg. tablets. The next time we were together things were wonderfully different. My cock was hard enough to cut through diamonds and I couldn’t believe how full and swollen it was. We had great sex that day and have continued to do so. It is my little secret, but I want to share with other men that Viagra does work. I take half a tab most times, but a full tab gives me the ability to go multiple times with a great hard-on. - Age 37
