A man blames the maker of a health drink that gave him constant erection that lasted for two years after he decided to have some healthy supplement. The nourishing drink was called Boost Plus, produced by Swiss-based Novartis pharmaceutical company and contained mainly vitamins. The makers described it as tasty high calorie drink to increase energy and protein amount. However the effect was quite unpredictable. The next day after drinking the Mr. Woods woke up with an erection that woudn‛t decrease. This started bothering him and he had to seek for medical advise for the priapism- a condition when erect penis doesn‛t return to initial flaccid state. Mr. Woods, a 29 year old man was known to have a penile implant to have blood flow from one direction to another. After the incident he had to undergo an operation, where the blood vessels in his penis were blocked. Later this can lead to problems with erection but otherwise making the chance of getting erection lower. Mr Woods sued the health drink company but the company haven‛t given any comments yet. Novartis Consumer health company is going to be a defendant. |
