Viagra

Does anyone admit to any experience of this (at either end)?

Would that not give you a very stiff tongue, useful possibly but you may end up talking like Jamie Oliver which would cancel out any benefits IMHO

Shamelessly robbed from another place

'Viagra' is now available
in powder form for your tea.

It doesn't enhance your sexual performance
but it does stop your biscuit going soft.

Looks like you could end up hard of hearing Nick..... 

Men who take Viagra have been warned they may DOUBLE their risk of hearing loss.

High doses of the drug have been shown to damage hearing in mice, but until now only a few anecdotal cases had been described in humans.
Now a new U.S study has confirmed the link.

The study, based on a national sample of American men over 40, found that slightly more than one in six of those who did not take Viagra-like drugs were deaf or hard of hearing

Among those who took pills for erectile dysfunction, however, almost one in three had hearing loss.
Study author Gerald McGwin from the University of Alabama, said the risk remained high even when accounting for other factors linked to hearing loss.
He added that more research is still needed to confirm the findings.

Drug makers already include a 'black box' warning about potential hearing loss on these products. But the new results expand on that concern, said Dr James Saunders, an ear doctor with Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire.

'Before the current paper the focus has always been on sudden hearing loss,' Dr Saunders said.
'This study suggests that maybe there are small incremental changes that occur over time.'

While he noted that the study relied on self-reporting of hearing loss, which has been criticised as inaccurate, he said at this point he would advise patients with hearing loss not to take the drugs.
The findings appear in the journal Archives of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery.

But for men with normal hearing and erectile dysfunction, comparing a potential side effect to a real problem might tip the scale, he added.

'The few times that I've had that conversation with patients it's kind of a difficult decision,' he said.
