AUSTRALIAN soldiers who are entitled to
taxpayer-funded Viagra pills have been warned about the dangers of erectile dysfunction drugs and told they can have just four tablets a month.
Defence personnel, including those on active duty in places such as Afghanistan, have also been informed they must be medically assessed as suffering from sexual performance problems before the pills will be prescribed to them.
The Defence surgeon-general has issued a health bulletin in response to concerns about the possible over-use and over-prescribing of the drugs by military personnel.
The warning applies to Viagra and Cialis medication and states that a proper diagnosis of erectile dysfunction must be made before troops can qualify for the drugs.
Service personnel deployed overseas, who qualify to receive the drugs, continue to obtain them on deployment.
Defence said higher doses were available if prescribed by a medical officer. - source: news.com.au
