Viagara doing big business in Iraq
Baghdad, Iraq, Jun. 17 (UPI) -- In Baghdad, life is violent, minds are frayed and Viagra sales reportedly have doubled since the war ended.
"People are depressed, so they need Viagra
and other drugs to give them interest in sex," pharmacist Talid
Abdul-Amir Shebany told the Los Angeles Times Thursday.
"Viagra sales have at least doubled since the war ended. Lives are not good. There's bombs and tension. When you see bodies and destroyed houses, you have psychological disturbances that affect sexual desire."
Viagra and its copycats -- Kamagra
from India, Novagra from Britain and Vega from Syria -- have been
available for several years. But, importation was limited, taxed
and heavily regulated by the former Iraqi Health Ministry.
Those barriers are gone. Drugs are cheaper -- four Kamagra tablets sell for $2.50.
"The Koran does not forbid Viagra," Shebany said. "In Islam, if a man can't sexually satisfy his wife she can ask for a divorce. Viagra helps prevent this disaster."
