Viagra faces threat of bycott in an Indian state
December 29, 2005
Wonder drug Viagra meant for treating
erectile dysfunction is under a strange threat of'boycott on
moral grounds from the chemists and druggists in Jharkhand, a state
of India. The Jharkhand Chemists and Druggist Association (JCDA)
has asked the multinational drug manufacturer Pfizer
not to launch and sell the 'magic pill' in the state as it fears
that this 'tiny tablet' might cause many crimes pertaining to sex.
JCDA president Krishna Pradhan told that apart from moral problems,
the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra if consumed unsolicited, can
lead to many side effects. He said that looking at already 'uncontrollable'

more problems. The main fear is that though Viagra
is a prescription drug, people will demand to sell it over the counter.
