Mass-erection: 10p viagra hits the shelves

An Indian company has launched what it claims is the world's cheapest anti-impotence drug - for ten pence a tablet.

"This is the world's cheapest potency pill," said sex therapist and Kunnath Pharmaceuticals spokesman Dr Teevee Mathew.

"It has been clinically tested in some of the world's top laboratories in the US and Europe and manually tested the world over," Mathew added.

The company says the unisex pills - called "Musli Power" - will be on sale in the UK and the rest of Europe within months.

Global pharma giant Pfizer launched Viagra for 11 US dollars (7.3 GBP) per tablet four years ago.
