LONDON (Reuters) - Six schoolboys have been rushed to hospital after taking the erection-enhancing drug Viagra at lunchtime for a dare, the school says.
Forest School in Winnersh, southern England said paramedics were called after a fellow student told teachers about the 13-year-olds' prank.
"It is believed that a pupil brought the tablets in from home into the all- boys school and shared them with five friends," the local education authority said in a statement.
The Sun newspaper quoted a source at the school as saying: "By the time the afternoon lessons began, there was no hiding what they had done."
Paramedics took the six squirming boys to the nearby Royal Berkshire Hospital, where they were monitored until the effects wore off.
"The school has a strict no drugs policy and a pupil will be temporarily excluded for actions which placed other pupils at risk," the education authority added.
