LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Six British schoolboys were rushed to the hospital after taking the erection-enhancing drug Viagra at lunchtime for a dare, the school said Thursday.
Paramedics were called after a fellow student told teachers about the 13-year-olds' prank, a spokesperson for Forest School in Winnersh, in southern England, said.
The local education authority said they think the student took the pills from home and brought them to the all-boys school where he shared them with five friends.
The school has a no drugs policy and the students likely will face punishment, especially the student who brought the pills into school, the education authority said.
The Sun newspaper quoted a source at the school as saying: "By the time the afternoon lessons began, there was no hiding what they had done."
Paramedics took the six squirming boys to the nearby Royal Berkshire Hospital, where they were monitored until the effects wore off.
The effects of Viagra are typically felt for up to 4 hours, according to viagra.com. |
Ahh, those zany Brits...

First of all, there was utterly no reason to haul them off to a hospital. Viagra is one of the most benign drugs we dole out these days. Even though package inserts contain warnings about the use of Viagra in patients with active heart disease long term studies completed in the years since it was released show that our fears that it might lower a man's blood pressure enought to compromise narrowed coronary arteries were groundless. The likelihood that a 13 year old would have ischemic heart disease is very, very, very small. The drug would have worn off by the 4th or 5th hour anyway.
Secondly, if they had been wearing baggy pants like most American kids no one would have noticed. OTOH if they had been wearing traditional school uniforms, complete with jackets, then they could have just buttoned up. I mean, 13 year old boys just aren't that well endowed.

a question about viagra. . . does it increase a persons size at all? or does it only cause an erection? |
No. It helps dilate the vessels in the penis, enabling someone who has circulatory problems to establish and maintain an erection. It doesn't enlarge the penis, the size of which is predetermined according to the grace of the almighty....or satan, but it may prolong the erection. Personally I don't need the stuff; I'm a natural.
I wonder why these kids felt they needed the stuff. Kids that age generally don't need any help getting an erection. It must be a British thing. Maybe they're Protestants. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, grin, grin, know what I mean, know what I mean?
