Surveys Shows Men Still Use Illegal ED Drugs Despite Warnings

many products contained extremely dangerously high dosages of glibenclamide

The Department of Health in Hong Kong has conducted a survey which shows that around five percent of men who suffer from erectile dysfunction do not go down the proper channels of getting medical help from a doctor but “put their lives at risk” by going to purchase prescription free medications from market stalls and health shops.

The researchers noted that recently many products contained extremely dangerously high dosages of glibenclamide, [in some cases ten times the safe dose] and also very often the active ingredient of the erectile dysfunction medication Viagra. Some statistics released by the Health Department show that almost 70 men have been admitted in the hospital after taking off the shelf erectile dysfunction products and three of these men have actually died. Two of the survivors were so harmed by the medication that they have not fully recovered and are unable to look after themselves and thus require 24 nursing.

At Ukmedix News we estimate that the real statistics are much higher and far more men have become seriously ill as a result of using these impotence medications but have kept quiet for fear of embarrassment. It may also be that some men died as a result of these medications coupled with sexual activity but families have hushed up the cases for the same reason.

Some of the men who took these products and who were interviewed said that they went to get these illegal and dangerous products because they were much more convenient, and in some cases cheaper then going to the purchase legal erectile dysfunction medication which required a prescription and a visit to a doctor. Unless health authorities around the world highlight the dangers of using these erectile dysfunction products more men will suffer and more men will die.
