Sometimes weight loss docs and nutritionists suggest a high-caloric liquid product for weight gain after weight loss surgery or when you're having complications of losing too much weight. Such a product, Boost Plus, is named in a law suit against it's maker, Novartis, because a 29 year old man complained of a Stiffy That Would Not Quit after ingesting the product.
"A man has sued the maker of the
health drink Boost Plus, claiming the vitamin-enriched beverage gave
him an erection that would not subside and caused him to be
hospitalized. The lawsuit filed by Christopher Woods of New York said he bought the nutrition beverage made by the pharmaceutical company Novartis AG at a drugstore on June 5, 2004, and drank it. Woods’
court papers say he woke up the next morning “with an erection that
would not subside” and sought treatment that day for the condition,
called severe priapism."
Now, there's a side effect they could market!
