Some men are using a mixture of Viagra and club drugs to get a “sexual high” according to a recent study, and the largest sector in the group using the sexual high combination is gay men. These club drugs include ketamine, amphetamines, poppers and ecstasy.
The study indicates “sexual high” drug users usually do not get a prescription or purchase ED meds, such as Viagra, online safely. Instead, they get them from a friend, at a club, or on the Internet, without a prescription. This means that they don’t see a doctor to determine if the medication is safe for them to take. That, combined with the fact that illicit Viagra is often cut with dangerous ingredients, has made the trend of the “sexual high” of significant concern to health care professionals.
Adding to the danger of illicit ED meds is the fact that club drugs, especially meth and poppers (a form of nitrite), cause a racing heart beat. Viagra does as well, so the combination can cause a cardiac arrest. Another danger of this practice is that these recreational drugs are commonly snorted, which leaves traces of potentially dangerous ingredients in the respiratory system.
Information on how to overcome erectile dysfunction is readily available from legitimate sources including HMOs and institutions of higher learning, but it may be that gay men are not receiving this information, causing them to seek illicit forms of ED pills. It is easy to see why. Any man going online is bombarded with products such as generic and herbal Viagra or other drugs for ED that do not need a prescription. Buried in all the hucksters’ ads is the information on how to use ED medications safely. It is virtually a matter of life and death to get this information to gay men, especially those with HIV, since a weak immune system means a greater danger from use of unsafe illicit Viagra and club drugs.
It’s understandable that men want to bypass seeing their doctor, and get Viagra without a prescription. For those men, there is an option. Rather than having to discuss ED with a doctor who may be a virtual stranger, they can get a complete physical by a doctor. The doctor’s staff will usually provide paper work at the end of the appointment indicating any health conditions and follow up recommended. Then they can purchase Viagra online safely by providing the information from their physical to a licensed online pharmacy. Any legitimate pharmacies on the Internet will have a physician on staff to provide a prescription for erectile dysfunction medications if the results of the physical indicate it is safe to do so.
It is hoped that gay men who obtain FDA approved authentic Viagra can get the sexual satisfaction that they are seeking. This should help to prevent use of non-prescription medications, and the potentially fatal consequences of street drugs in toxic combinations.
