Too much Viagra turned a man’s world blue

Viagra is a wonder drug that has transformed the way older men see the world – in one case, quite literally.

After consuming too many doses of the little blue pill, the 58 year-old plumber John Pettigrew now sees everything in exactly that colour. From red post-boxes to white clouds in the sky, everything looks ocean blue to him since he overdosed on the impotence treatment.

Rigid recommendations

John admits that he got a bit “carried away” after discovering that Viagra could perk his love up, and confesses he ignored the clear advice on the label to stick to the recommended dose. He insists though that he was “having too much fun” to only take one pill.

Unfortunately, the consequences of his marathon Viagra session soon became apparent: “I have been seeing the world in blue for more than a fortnight now and it’s doing my head in,” he complained.

The manufacturers Pfizer confess that men may experience a “blue tint” to their vision if they take too much Viagra.

Hard luck

It is definitely a stiff situation that John finds himself in. You would have thought that it would be hard to come to terms with. Luckily the plumber sees the funny side of the situation. “At least I’m a Chelsea fan,” he said. One question though – next time John is watching a game, how will he distinguish between the teams?

Firm advice

If you are thinking about using Viagra to make your sex life better, remember that unless you want to end up in the same boat as John, you should stick to the advice given on the label. John isn’t the only guy who has run into trouble from overdosing on Viagra. Earlier this year a Russian man collapsed after a marathon, Viagra-induced sex session.
