Viagra sponsors health seminar

PURWOKERTO, Central Java: A distributor of the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra will sponsor a seminar on sexual health to be held by the Indonesian Doctors Association here on Friday.

An organizing committee member, Mambodiyanto, said the seminar was part of the association's congress now under way through Saturday at Baturaden tourist resort at the foot of Mt. Slamet, north of here.

"The seminar will seek a solution for the sexual problems many males are now facing in the wake of the unabated economic crisis."

He said many doctors were regularly consuming the imported drug to test its effects. "Before prescribing the medicine to patients, we have to know how it works." (45)
